The Goat Rearing and Breeding Project aims to provide sustainable livelihoods to poor women to help them overcome poverty permanently. Surveys on the ground indicate that livestock resources (cows and goats) are a viable option. Step to Humanity Association started this project in early 2022 by distributing 100 Black Bengal Female Goats to 100 women in Bangladesh.

The Black Bengal Goat, which is the most prized breed in the world, is native to Kushtia District in Bangladesh. This goat is known for its meat production. Each adult goat weighs 20-30 kg. The goat reaches adulthood in its early years. A female goat can give birth to 2-4 kids each year. They are easy to raise because they eat a wide variety of food. Beneficiaries receive the goat free of cost but they are encouraged not to sell the mother goat. They can sell their offspring to help support their livelihoods. Beneficiaries are also encouraged to donate one goat to their poor relative or neighbor after several breeding cycles. The latter criterion is optional but it gives the beneficiaries an opportunity to pay off their gift to a poor household when they are well-off.
