Since its launch in September 2020, the Zeke Goat Breeding Project has moved into an advanced stage, closely following its activity calendar.

Initial Setup

Launch & Orientation: Members were briefed on project strategies, and 160 goats kicked off the program. (80 were initially contributed by the community and 80 matched by funds thanks to the GoFundme campaign https://www.gofundme.com/f/maasai-school-goat-project by Zeke Vant Hof.
Committees Formed:
- Goat purchase
- School lunch program management committee
- Mating management
Veterinary Support: A Veterinary Agent hired to advise on goat health and management.

Goat Herd & Care

Initial Herd: 160 goats (145 females, 15 males) started the herd—females locally, males from a neighboring commune for breeding quality.
Feeding & Precautions: Goats graze on local vegetation; extra care is taken during the rainy season to avoid illness.

Breeding Results - 2025

To date the program has 105 female goats, 15 kids and 5 male goats in the program, 20 goats sold to supplement lunches past two terms kids (11 males, 9 females).
No deaths recorded in the herd or kids; only two abortion cases, both now pregnant again.

Community Impact
