In June 2026, we reached an agreement with our sister organization, ALS Afghanistan, to support needy families in the villages of Malim Akbar, Khan, Tajikan, and Dad Mohammad in Baghlan Province through a new agricultural project.

The distribution: goats, flour, and oil for 14 families

We have already carried out several successful projects involving cows and chickens in the past; this time, we decided to focus on goats. By the end of July, the time had come. We were able to make the first distribution of goats, flour, and oil to 14 pre-selected families in need.

Each family received a mother goat with her kid, a 50-kg bag of flour, and a 5-liter bottle of oil. The oil was purchased because the originally estimated price for the goats was higher than the actual price. Our staff used the difference to buy flour and oil, which was very well received by the families.

Everyone involved was absolutely thrilled—since pictures speak louder than words, here are a few snapshots.

Features

As with previous livestock projects, women in these families benefit the most: They can care for the goat and its kid right at home while also managing the household and looking after their children. The goats’ milk can be used to feed the family or sold at the market. In the long term, families can increase their income by raising more baby goats.
