Why Goats Are a Big Deal

We all know goats aren’t winning any beauty contests.

But Samaritan’s Purse gives goats to poor families in villages all over the world because

They are easy to look after.

They provide nutritious milk to drink and use for cheese or butter, and

They produce offspring to sell.

Money earned helps families pay for necessities.

They also give one of the offspring to help another family in need.

Through trainings and check-ups, we build relationships.

This opens doors to share the Gospel.

When people learn how much God loves them, lives change.

So now, struggling families and communities have these pretty cute animals to help break the cycle of poverty.

You can give a goat to a family in need. You can give other animals too. Choose from 42 gifts in our Christmas Catalog to send in Jesus’ Name.

Just one goat or dairy animal can provide a better life for impoverished people in countries like Haiti, Kenya, Uganda, and Vietnam.

Give a Dairy Goat In poor communities—like the rural Kenyan village where Rhoda lives—a little dairy goat has tremendous value. Rhoda was struggling to put food on the table for her grandchildren. But then she received several goats from Samaritan’s Purse, along with specialized training which equipped her to take care of them. The goats are providing plenty of nourishing milk for Rhoda’s family. She sold one of the animals for income and is using a portion of her earnings to support her small sewing business. For $70, you can provide a goat or another dairy animal, along with related training and resources, and bring hope in Jesus’ Name to a struggling family.
