By Elizabeth Demo

The Family Aids Caring Trust (FACT) had donated thirty goats to people living with H.I.V to start a project in Rusitu Dairy Scheme, Chipinge

.

In an interview with the FACT project officer, Blessing Chigomba, he said that the aim of the organisation in donating the goats is to help the unemployed H.I.V people in sustaining themselves.

“The organisation provides everything that was necessary for the success of the project, we help in fencing the paddock and providing goat feeds,” he said

“Major purpose is to empower the affected people so that they have a better living since they are not working,” added Chigomba.

Speaking to the chairperson of the project, Rudo Jack, she said that they are benefiting a lot from the project.

“The project became our source of income and we are now able to sustain ourselves through this project and our children are going to school we manage to pay the school fees,” said the chairperson.

FACT is non governmental organisation that once helped H.I.V and AIDS with fertilizer and maize and vegetable seeds in Chipinge.
