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.

Goats & Dairy Animals The psalmist Asaph encouraged the Israelites that God wanted their offerings of thanksgiving more than their sacrifices of bulls and goats “for every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10). Just one goat or dairy animal can provide a better life for impoverished people in countries like Haiti, Kenya, Uganda, and Vietnam. For $70, you can help provide a family with an animal that will offer nutrient-rich milk to fortify their diet, with plenty left over to sell at the market—producing an income that can be used to educate children and end generations of poverty.
