Daily life: Children & animals part 4: Learning to properly raise and care for animals is a critical part of growing up in many communities. A girl holds a goat in a displacement camp outside Massawa. Children everywhere help care for animals, both pets and their family’s livestock. Animals are beloved companions and a vital means of transportation, food and clothing – all critical to children’s well-being.
