Cows

Suggested donation: $375

Cows and the milk they produce help families grow stronger, healthier and more financially secure. As a poor widow, Jamini could not offer her son Tavish a bright future. When her son grew up and married, her worry grew to include her grandchildren’s futures—until Tavish received a cow at a gift distribution.

“After having received the gift, we are really blessed. We have some income in our family. We have hope; we have a purpose in life and really are so blessed and so happy, just unlike what we thought our future would be.”—Jamini, whose son Tavish received a cow

Water Buffalo

Suggested donation: $460

Water buffalo are powerful animals often used to plough fields. They produce milk for drinking or selling, and their dung can be used as fuel for cooking. Your gift towards a water buffalo could greatly improve a family’s financial situation!

Pigs

Suggested donation: Suggested gift: $88 per pair

These portly critters bring powerful financial breakthroughs to needy families. Piglets fetch a good price at market, which enables families to buy whatever they need, and adult pigs provide ample meat for selling or eating.

Goats

Suggested donation: Suggested gift: $190 per pair

Goats may or may not have been there to greet baby Jesus, but they sure are a great way to show His love to families in need. These animals provide meat and milk, and they can be sold for a good price. Increased income means more money for things like food and blankets, but it also enables families to send their children to school, making a lasting difference in the fight against poverty

Chickens

Suggested donation: Suggested gift: $15 per pair

Your gift towards chickens can help supplement a family’s income and get them on their feet financially. Hungry families can eat or sell the nutritious eggs, or they can hatch chicks to increase their flock and later have more eggs and chicks to sell. Most importantly, this gift gives each recipient a walking reminder that God sees them and He cares about them.
