In 2020, Hearts for Hue had continued receiving a financing support of the VFP to implement Goat raising project for 20 needy people in A Ngo commune, A Luoi District.

Ten families each were provided with 10 vaccinated baby goats which weight about 18 -20 kg along with training and supplementary inputs to maximise the chances of successfully raising the goats.

All the beneficiaries were feeling overjoyed and fulfilled when they received healthy goats.

Before delivering goats, Hearts For Hue organized two training courses on goat raising for these families.
