From day laborer to successful goat entrepreneur
Deviram has made a name for himself as a goat herder. He bought a buffalo to provide the kids with enough milk. He prepares their feed from local plants that grow in his own garden. Being self-sufficient means he is independent of market products. For Deviram, who lives in a remote area, this is exactly the right approach.
“Nobody knew me before, but now strangers from the city call me when they need goats,” he reports proudly. Deviram, still humble about his success, says he will continue to rear goats for the rest of his life. “I no longer plan to go abroad to work. I will continue to breed goats and sell them at the market.”
Thanks to the Green Colleges training, Deviram has not only been able to improve his standard of living,but can now also support other small business owners in the region in achieving their goals and building successful businesses.
