Herding for Sustainable Futures
Organization information
Rain for the Sahel and Sahara
Location: Portsmouth, United States of America
Summary
RAIN's mission is to empower people to choose the lifestyles of their dreams. RAIN's mentors are traditional women rural and nomadic with little or no formal education. Goat herding is a core part of their identities and incomes. Yet many are unable to buy the foundation animals for developing a herd. RAIN's Mentor Herding Program puts women on a sustainable path with one more tool for generating food security and income.
