Empower families with the resources animals provide. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

With chickens and a goat, you\u2019ll help provide a steady supply of eggs, milk, and protein to feed children and help families. We\u2019ve paired our most popular animals so you can give struggling families a gift they\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

By providing food and income, goats put families on the road to self-sufficiency. Goat\u2019s milk is easier to digest than cow\u2019s milk and is an excellent source of calcium, protein, and other essential nutrients that growing children need. Goats also flourish in harsh climates and produce valuable manure to fertilize crops and vegetable gardens.<\/p>\n

Chickens are equally easy to raise and can naturally multiply to impact generations of children. Each family that receives chickens can sell the offspring for extra income or share them with other families in need. Chicks require little money, space, or food to thrive and grow \u2014 making them an ideal business venture for a single mom or vulnerable family.<\/p>\n

Your gift will help children like 8-year-old Honest in Zambia. When severe drought destroyed his family\u2019s only source of income, a maize crop, food was scarce and the family couldn\u2019t afford to send the children to school. Things turned around when the family received an unexpected blessing: a gift of goats.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we received the goats \u2026 our lives have changed. We eat healthy meals and sell some [goats] to get money for our children\u2019s school needs,\u201d explains Honest\u2019s mom, Patricia. \u201cOwning goats is like having \u2026 extra money in a bank.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today Honest and his sister, Mercy, have plenty to eat and can attend school \u2014 a priority for their parents. And the additional income from goats is allowing the family to invest in improved maize farming \u2014 multiplying their sources of nutrition and income and building their resilience. Patricia says, \u201cReceiving the goats from World Vision is a dream come true for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your gift of a goat and two chickens will equip even more families to realize their dreams of providing a brighter future for their children!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
