In Burundi, agricultural overexploitation is progressively reducing the fertility of the land. The problem is jeopardising the food security of nine out of ten people in the country, who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. To put an end to this vicious circle and stimulate crops, livestock keeping is proving to be extremely effective. However, owning animals is beyond the means of most people in rural areas. That is why we distribute goats to vulnerable families in the north of the country. Over the past ten years, almost 6000 families have benefited from our holistic approach.
