Community members in 𝐂h𝐢k𝐰a𝐤w𝐚 𝐖a𝐫d 1𝟗 continue to demonstrate the power of collective action and sustainable development through inspiring local initiatives. The R𝐮v𝐡e𝐧e𝐤o A𝐪u𝐚c𝐮l𝐭u𝐫e G𝐫o𝐮p, consisting of 𝟏𝟗 dedicated members (1𝟒 𝐰o𝐦e𝐧 𝐚n𝐝 𝟓 𝐦e𝐧), has taken a strategic step toward strengthening livelihoods and resilience within their community.

Building on the success of their fish project supported by 𝐓S𝐔R𝐎 𝐓r𝐮s𝐭 and its partners, the group made a forward-thinking decision to reinvest their savings into a goat rearing project. Rather than purchasing typical household items, the members went the extra mile by acquiring 1𝟗 𝐠o𝐚t𝐬; one for each member which marks a significant milestone in community-led e𝐜o𝐧o𝐦i𝐜 𝐞m𝐩o𝐰e𝐫m𝐞n𝐭 and s𝐮s𝐭a𝐢n𝐚b𝐢l𝐢t𝐲.

Even bigger ambitions lie ahead, with plans already underway to expand into cattle farming in the near future. This initiative reflects a strong commitment to 𝐫e𝐬i𝐥i𝐞n𝐜e, 𝐝i𝐯e𝐫s𝐢f𝐢c𝐚t𝐢o𝐧 𝐨f l𝐢v𝐞l𝐢h𝐨o𝐝s and 𝐚 𝐥o𝐧g-t𝐞r𝐦 𝐜o𝐦m𝐮n𝐢t𝐲 𝐝e𝐯e𝐥o𝐩m𝐞n𝐭.

Together, these efforts highlight how local leadership, collaboration, and smart investment choices can drive lasting positive change.
