A nongovernmental organization in the city of Toyama has donated goats to a Nepalese village as part of the recovery effort from last April's devastating earthquake.
A member of the NGO said goats were valuable because they were easy to raise and are in demand as food in Nepal.
The group, the Toyama branch of the Nepal Karnali Association, was established in 1992 when students at the Nihon Gakuen private high school in Tokyo collected aluminum cans to finance the construction of a school in Nepal.
