Empowering Women, Strengthening Communities: A Livestock Initiative in Balochistan

Balochistan, a region of immense potential, faces significant challenges with poverty and underdevelopment. Livelihood opportunities are scarce, particularly in remote areas. Recognizing this, a targeted initiative has been launched to empower women and enhance food security through sustainable agriculture.

Livestock rearing is a critical pillar for both nutrition and income generation in such contexts. This program specifically focuses on the Kamori goat, a high-yielding breed known for its excellent milk production. On average, a single Kamori goat produces 1.25 liters of milk per day. A small herd of three does can provide 4 liters of milk daily.

This milk serves a dual purpose: it can improve family nutrition or be sold in local markets at approximately Rs. 90 per liter. In either case, a household can secure an estimated Rs. 350 per day, translating to around Rs. 10,500 per month. This significant supplemental income is generated with minimal additional labor, primarily managed by women at home.

To catalyze this change, the program provides a set of four Kamori goats (1 male + 3 female) to poor and deserving women-led households. This intervention is designed to create a sustainable source of livelihood and empower women economically.
