Goat

Your gift of a goat will be a much-celebrated blessing for a family in need — and can help them make lasting change in their lives and community.

Goat milk provides great protein to help children grow. The family can also sell any extra milk the goats produce to earn money for medicines and other necessities.

A healthy dairy goat can give up to 16 cups of milk a day. Goat’s milk is easier to digest than cow’s milk and is an excellent source of calcium, protein, and other essential nutrients that growing children need. Goats are practical animals — flourishing in harsh climates while producing valuable manure to fertilize crops and vegetable gardens.

Your gift will help children like Rosemary, a sponsored child in Zambia. Her world changed when her family received their gift of goats. Her family struggled with hunger, and often went into debt just to be able to buy food. But when Rosemary’s family was given the gift of goats from the World Vision Gift Catalog, things changed. Rosemary’s grandfather remembers saying, “When I received the goats, I told myself, ‘Here comes the freedom.’”

Goats enabled Rosemary’s family to diversify their crops and try new income-generating activities. Rosemary rose to #1 in her class at school and began nurturing dreams of becoming a chef.

It’s hard to think of a better gift for families like Rosemary’s than a goat … unless it’s 2 goats!
