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 “You shall have enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household” (Proverbs 27:27). Goats were vital in Biblical days to provide nutrient-rich milk, and they are just as important today for families living in countries like Kenya and Vietnam. Just one goat can produce enough milk each week to sustain a family, with plenty left to sell at a local market. For a gift of $70, you can supply a goat or other dairy animal to a family in need, and help create opportunities to share the Gospel.
