Animals that Provide Income for Families for Years to Come
Income-generating animals completely change a poor family’s situation. Families can sell the offspring to earn income, or they can keep the young to increase their livelihood and make even more profit down the road. In addition to providing physical help, these gifts show recipients how much God values them!

All Gifts from the Stable
Cows
Suggested donation: R5,250
Cows, and the milk they produce, help families grow healthier and more financially secure. A cow’s milk can be consumed, adding nutrients to the family’s diet, or sold, adding to the family’s income. The cow’s manure serves as a fertilizer for farmers, resulting in a better harvest. As cows multiply, so does the financial benefit and the family’s hope.
Lambs
Suggested donation: R910
A sheep’s rich milk is an excellent source of calcium—an essential nutrient for young children—and makes delicious cheese. Income from selling milk or lambs can provide education, food, medical care or a multitude of other valuable needs for families. And healthier, stronger families mean healthier, stronger communities!
Water Buffalo
Suggested donation: R6,440
Water buffalo are powerful animals often used to plough fields. They produce milk for drinking or selling, and their dung can be used as fuel for cooking. Your gift towards a water buffalo could greatly improve a family’s financial situation!
Pigs
Suggested donation: R 910
These portly critters bring powerful financial breakthroughs to needy families. Piglets fetch a good price at market, which enables families to buy whatever they need, and adult pigs provide ample meat for selling or eating.
Goats
Suggested donation: R 1,960
Your gift toward goats can improve a family’s financial situation. In the case of one father, one pair of goats multiplied and enabled him to start a goat farm, resulting in more than 75 goats to milk or sell. He built a house for his family and sent his children to school, offering his children a better future .
Chickens
Suggested donation: R 154
Your gift towards chickens can help supplement a family’s income and often helps a family get on its feet financially. Hungry families can eat or sell the nutritious eggs, or they can hatch chicks to increase their flock and later have more eggs and chicks to sell.
