Livestock farmers in Nhiwa Sub-county Homa Bay county will benefit from a goat rearing programme that seeks to transform livelihoods.
Under the programme run by Life for Children Welfare, a member of a community group will get a goat or sheep free of charge and will be expected to multiply it.

The beneficiary will take care of the young animal until it matures and gives birth. Afterward, the farmer will be expected to share the first two offspring with two other group members.
