What is the Morninga Tree?
.
Moringa oleifera is the best known of 14
species of the Moringa tree (Morningaceae). It is a fast-growing,
drought resistant tree native to sub-Himalayan tracts of Northern
India. It is now growing worldwide in the tropics, sub-tropcis and
now, Africa.
.
Its leaves and pods have great nutritional value yielding many
vitamins and minerals. It is currently promoted in Africa as a
nutritional supplement for children and mothers.
.
Parts of the tree can also be used as
animal forage, a domestic cleaning agent, perfume, dye, fertilizer,
medicine, a water clarifying agent, fiber for rope, and as an agent
for tanning hides. [Read

How goats empower
rural African families.
. Our
"Goat Project" is designed to reduce poverty by enabling
marginal African farmers and herders to make sustainable
improvements to their well-being through more effective management
of their renewable natural resources. We work in partnership with
communities, governments, local organizations, international NGOs
and the private sector to develop strong rural livelihoods and then
share the results of our work with others to maximum the favorable
impact to similar other groups.
. Straight
Forward non-profit aims to ultimately help to reduce proverty in
villages surrounding Kampala and the orphanage by providing a
sustainable improvement to the lives of many poverty stricken
families and a rural livelihood that can have a perpetual
impact through the gifting of goat offsprings with other
families.
