Association Salsabil carried out a project to support and develop sheep farming in a village in Benin.
Several families each received a pair of sheep, a ram and a ewe. In total, more than ten pairs were distributed. The handover took place on site, in the presence of the families and members of the association.
In many villages in Benin, livestock is an essential resource for families. With a pair of sheep, a family can watch its flock grow over the months and gain a lasting source of income and food.
The aim of the project is to help families build up their own livestock, earn additional income and become more self-reliant, while giving them regular access to meat.
That is what makes this kind of project so valuable: a donation is not used up in a day. It keeps producing income and food for a whole family for years.
