With your gift of a goat to a Rwandan genocide survivor you will transform their life.
The goat you donate will go to a household that currently barely survives by subsistence farming, despite their best efforts.
Giving livestock is an efficient and effective way of lifting a family out of poverty. In the words of many widows and orphans,
"You have given me hope when I had no hope."
This goat will literally start a small business.
- Goats can produce offspring two times a year, having one or two kids each pregnancy.
- The goats can be bred, sold, or given to another family member or friend.
- Goats are inexpensive to maintain and produce rich fertilizer which increases the output from farming.
The cash that will be earned may be used to send a child to school, to buy medicine or to help the family in many other ways.
We are a completely volunteer organization that covers all administrative expenses. Every dollar you donate goes to those in need.

“I met a family in a village in eastern Rwanda who got a goat in 2006
and saw what a difference it has made to them — one goat has now become
four as it has had kids. The family has been able to sell the young
goats to buy clothes, household goods and food and crops, which failed
in 2005 and are now flourishing.”
