Poor pastoralist women in Eastern Sudan have improved their livelihoods by producing alternative animal feed from local resources. They are able to do so after receiving training from a local pastoralist organisation, supported by Oxfam Novib’s partner PENHA. The women managed to improve the productivity of their goats so that they produce more milk and give birth to more kid goats. The increased household income is used to improve health and support the education of their children.
