Zambia has been stricken hard by the AIDS-epidemic and thousands of children have become orphans.

In a best case scenario these children live with relatives or in a foster family. It is often hard for the families to have enough food for everyone; therefore they have an order of precedence where the father eats first. Then the mother and the biological children. Hopefully there is some food left for the foster children.

The Scandinavian Children's Mission has started an animal project in Mpongwe, a region of 800 square kilometres with about 100 000 inhabitants.  Goats are bought, bred and given to poor families – first to those who take care of orphans. A goat can give up to six litres of milk per day – the term “poor man’s cow” is appropriate. The milk is very nutritious and strengthens the immune system, which is extremely important for those infected by HIV/Aids.
