In 2000–2001 Mongolia suffered of severe winter disaster, which is called “Dzud”. It has beard away more than 80 percent of total heads of livestock in Gobi region. About one hundred thousand of livestock died out of 120 000, primarily due to starvation of being unable to graze and directly from the cold, threatening the livelihood of herders. Many herders have lost all their livestock therefore their entire livelihood.

Total of 1600 goats were distributed and by breeding the goats the families survived the Dzud and revived their livelihood.
