The GEMS Development Foundation has donated over 18,000 female goats to returning refugees in South Sudan. Years of civil war and unrest have decimated the herds from the herdsmen tribes in South Sudan. As the nation attempts to stabilize, our goats cultivate hope in families who are literally starting from scratch. With over 60% of the population experiencing extreme hunger, we have been surprised to see the direct results of having a goat can have on a families nutrition. As the milk supplements their diet, we've seen the the tell-tale signs of starvation (red-tinted hair, bloated bellies, yellowing eyes, decaying teeth) fade away within a year. As we return to these villages, it's almost impossible to recognize them.
