From Bahrain to Myagdi: A Migrant Worker's Journey to Self-Reliance Through Goat Farming

Myagdi. Bhim Bhandari, a 39-year-old from Phaliyagaun, Dhaulagiri Rural Municipality-3, was forced to return home from Bahrain after four years due to health issues. Despite the burden of supporting his three children, elderly parents, and siblings, Bhim did not lose hope.

After returning, Bhim turned to goat farming. Starting eight years ago, his migratory goat farming business has now made him self-employed and self-reliant. Bhim says that while he was initially worried about how to manage household expenses, he now realizes that one does not need to go abroad for employment.
