In the charity's own words
The development of milk goat stock in Uganda through the use of high yielding European goat breeds interbreeding with the indigenous goat stock. As well as increasing milk yield so that the owners can have milk for family use and sale, it also increases the meat yield.The programme works with the local communities, as well as local and national organisations to ensure sustainability.
