So you bought a goat!

(Or sponsored a child or supported a project or bought bed nets, or...)

Whatever the gift, it will make a difference. That’s because these gifts aren’t given in isolation. Instead, many small acts come together to create big impact.

For example, if you gave a goat, you didn’t just give a goat. You gave the training that comes with the goat: how to house it, grow its food, collect its manure, and turn that manure into fertilizer to grow veggie seeds!

And if you gave veggie seeds, you didn’t just give veggie seeds. They came with training on crop rotation, fertilizer use and bio-intensive gardening strategies to produce enough food for each family, plus some surplus to sell.

And if you gave a latrine... Um, we’ll let you figure that one out.

Because each gift comes in the context of a long-term development strategy created with each specific community we work with, you can be assured that each gift contributes to the eventual graduation of a community as completely self-sustainable!

But don’t just take our word for it. You can follow your impact all year long on Facebook. When you a like a community on Facebook you can follow their challenges, opportunities, milestones and every-day moments. Get to know the people whose lives will be forever impacted by your generosity and engagement.
