Livestock in rural areas is the primary source of income for poor families and the safe way to get out of poverty and achieve sustainable self-sufficiency and improve their living standards. Most of the poor work in agriculture and livestock farming, but many problems face them due to improper practices in raising animals, which expose them to death. The Grameen Yemen Foundation intervenes by supporting livestock projects by providing mineral salt blocks and veterinary treatments to prevent parasites and prevalent diseases, maintain the health of livestock, and construct free sheds to protect animals from the heat of the sun and seasonal rains. The specialized veterinarian also vaccinates the animals with free vaccines against common diseases and conducts awareness sessions for prevention and provides guidance on proper behavior in feeding, caring, raising, and fattening them to increase the income of the targeted families, enable them to purchase their needs, secure their food, education, and treatment to become more resilient in facing challenges and difficult conditions.
