Giving an animal gift at the holidays is like giving someone a small business, providing wool, milk, eggs and more. Every animal gift you gave came with a free honor to let your gift recipient know their holiday gift is providing families access to medicine, school, food and a sustainable livelihood.
For families that live in harsh climates, sheep’s wool can be woven to make warm clothing or sold.
By your providence of an animail gift aid:
Your animal gift has supported the lives of families in need. Cows and the milk they produce help families grow stronger, healthier and more financially secure. A cow’s milk can be consumed, adding much-needed nutrients to the family’s diet, or sold, adding to the family’s income. The cow’s manure serves as a rich fertilizer for farmers, resulting in a more profitable harvest, as cows multiply so do the financial benefit and the family’s hope for the future.
“After having received the gift, we are really blessed. We have some income in our family. We have hope; we have a purpose in life and really are so blessed and so happy, just unlike what we thought our future would be.” —Janella, a mother whose adult son received a cow
