Below is a description of the Lokoko Goat Project by David McCoy:
"Four hours out of Niamey (the Capital of Niger) is the village of Lokoko. I toured this village in January with Yazi Adamou who earned his degree in the U.S. and then went back home to Niamey to help his people. In the spring we raised $1,500 which was enough for Yazi to purchase 34 goats for 17 women farmers. The condition of their 1.5 acre garden was incredible. It consisted mostly of sand, but they were growing crops! The seventeen women sell and barter at the market as a cooperative. New goats born are given to the younger girls in the village to help them get started in management of their own two garden rows with their kid goats."
We can't wait to see everyone, and please feel free to get in touch if you should have any questions regarding this event.
