Give a Goat - Uganda
Hunger, sickness, loss: the gift of a goat to a family with any one (or more) of these challenges, leads to milk for a malnourished child. This gift translates directly into protein and calories—a very tangible demonstration of the love of Immanuel: God with us. As a result of your generous gifts last Christmas to BundiNutrition’s Matiti Project, 109 goats were distributed to families coping with these very real challenges in sustaining life in Bundibugyo. We are so grateful for your generosity. It is a privilege to be your hands and feet on the ground here as we see the smiles on a mother’s face as the arrow on the scale creeps higher and higher!If you would like to Give-a-Goat to provide milk for a hungry, sick or left behind child this Christmas, we have two giving options:
(1) A gift of $130 will allow us to purchase a high grade dairy goat (due to the number of goats distributed to date, we are now able to purchase their progeny locally here in Bundibugyo), train the family in its care, give them a few tools for constructing a simple shed, and then enable them to take the goat home.
(2) A gift of $200 will allow us to do the same AND to set aside a portion for supporting the ongoing development of a local high grade dairy goat breed in Bundibugyo, an effort to develop a culturally appropriate and sustainable source of milk to boost the protein and caloric intake more widely, in a district where half of all children are chronically underfed.
For the third consecutive year, we are offering African handmade Christmas tree ornaments to the first 100 Give-a-Goat donors (at the donation level of your choice). Merry Christmas from all of us here in Bundibugyo!
If you would like the ornament mailed to a DIFFERENT address than the one you will be using when making your donation, please email us with your name and the address where you'd like the ornament sent. A card will be included with each goat describing the give-a-goat program.
