Donate a Goat
Send love with a gift of a Goat
Diadagdou and his family in West Africa received three LWR goats thanks to generous people like you. They quickly bred a healthy herd of 18 goats. For the first time, they did not have to beg for food after a drought caused their crops to fail. They were able to sell several goats and buy enough food for the entire family. Help spread the love by donating a goat to help improve the life of another family.
Goats: the gift of a 4-legged superstar
Goats are one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to a family living in poverty. With each donation, families learn how to raise and support their new family member.
A family can earn money by breeding a herd and selling goats or by selling goat milk. This extra money can be used for food, medicine and other essential supplies they could not afford before.

Goats to the rescue!
Burkina Faso is among the poorest and least developed nations in the world. Most families rely heavily – if not solely – on growing crops for survival. Unfortunately, recent cycles of drought and food shortages have driven millions to the brink of famine.
Diadagdou’s family received three goats from generous donors like you – two female and one male. They were taught how to care for and breed them and, in just a few years, they were able to build a herd of 18 healthy and happy goats!
By selling the goats we were able to make it through the last drought. We’re continuing to breed more in case of emergency.
During the last drought, Diadagdou was able to sell some of the goats in order to make it through. These four legged wonders truly are superheroes.
Why goats are the perfect gift
A hearty goat can survive even where food supply may be unpredictable. They are also easy to care for and easy to breed. Not only are you giving the gift of a goat, you are giving the gift of a lasting source of nutrition and income to a family that would not
have it otherwise.
