      • Family has to provide food and shelter for the goat

    • Sustainable?
      • Goats can reproduce- are then passed on to other families

Goat Aid is often used as an example in an exam question by students. Too often though, students are low on details of how the scheme works. This has lots of information that you can use and gives a level of detail that will enable you to reach level 3 in your answer (to a longer question) BUT - you will need a location example and you will need to add a few figures to this mind map to finish it off completely - do not let this pass you by though as it is very good.

Also, to gain marks you could mention that the project is aimed at the girls because it can help to prevent prostitution, early or forced marriages etc. The goat aid project is also known as the 'girl effect.'
