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, school supplies, and other essential needs that they could not afford before.

Growing a Herd

In Uganda, many rural families depend on small-scale farming and livestock to meet their daily needs. As cycles of drought and unreliable rainfall continue to disrupt crop harvests, food insecurity has increased for millions of households. Goat rearing has become a vital source of resilience—providing families with a dependable supply of nutrition, income, and security when crops fail.

The families who are a part of our Goats for Hope program receive three goats from generous donors like you – two female and one male. They are taught how to care for and breed them, and, in just a few years, our goal is for them to build a herd of healthy and happy goats!
