Giving goat(s) and chickens to a needy family and help transform the lives of families and children in the poor, rural communities How a Goat can transform a family’s life and future: Healthy livestock can be bred to provide steady income and a long-term food source for a poor family in rural communities. The gift of a goat will supply poor subsistence farmers with practical, renewable resources that fit their rural way of life. With this gift, they can feed their children with milk, and eventually produce enough income for school fees, supplies, and other basic living needs.
