Your gift to help keep girls in school in Haiti is multiplying! Each time a girl receives a goat and her goat gets pregnant, she sell’s her goat’s first offspring, enabling her to earn money to help pay for school fees. After the first baby is sold, each girl passes the next goat to another student at her school so another child benefits from having a goat in the same way!
During the month of May, 13 children received kid goats through this project. Two of them, Nancy and Naama, received goats from girls in the program, so they can begin earning income for school fees too.
Sixteen-year-old Dahana was excited to pass a goat to her classmate Nancy. Dahana says that she her goat’s first offspring to help pay her tuition and now wants Nancy to have the same opportunity. Talk about paying it forward!
Thirteen-year-old Angeline comes from a family of 12 children, six boys and six girls. Without the income she’s received from her goat, she would not be able to attend school. But she was able to do even more than pay school fees. She proudly helps her mom with other family expenses, such as food and clothing, as well.
Angeline gave her goat’s second kid to Naama, another young girl at her school, so she could earn income too and continue to learn in school as well.
These girls are great examples of generosity – and so are you! Your gift helped make this possible. Thank you!
