Livestock donation is an efficient method of promoting immediate relief and long-term sustainability. For example, a donation of only $50 is sufficient to purchase one goat. The goats produce milk, providing essential nutrients for growing children. The families ensure sustainability of the donation by breeding their goat - each animal can be bred twice per year and produces two to three offspring each time. Therefore, the benefit of one goat quickly multiplies.
