Donate a Goat!

The gift of a dairy goat represents a lasting, meaningful way for you to help a little boy or girl on the other side of the world.

The gift of a dairy goat can supply a family with up to several quarts of nutritious milk a day - a ton of milk a year. Extra milk can be sold or used to make cheese, butter or yogurt. Families learn to use goat manure to fertilize gardens.

You can donate a goat for $120 (or go in on the purchase of a goat for only $10).  Go to:

"With all the money donated to help fight famine around the world, with all the grandiose plans conceived to conquer poverty, sometimes all it takes to save a child is a goat."  — 60 Minutes, CBS News Magazine Program
