The Impact of One Goat
ANIMALS HELP THE MOST MARGINALIZED FAMILIES ESCAPE POVERTY
We strive to work with the poorest communities in the world, where parents struggle every day to feed their children. Community members identify the poorest families, and those are the ones to receive the animals. For these families, the poorest of the poor, the additional income and nutritional value from animals will make a big difference.
Goats are great at producing other goats; quickly and relatively easily. As a result, one goat quickly becomes the foundation for a growing herd that offers families income for the long-term either by trading up to other livestock such as cows or using the income to start a small business.
THE BENEFITS ARE SUSTAINABLE
Why give livestock to farming families in rural communities in the developing world? Because they’re a great way to help improve income, nutrition, health and education for children living in poverty!
For children who are at risk of malnutrition, the complete protein derived from goats is critical to improving their health. Goats also provide a source of milk and cheese for families, which can be consumed or traded for other food produce.
Join Ilyaa's Goats's Mission!
While gender equality is an important part of our mission, many women in sub-saharan Africa are still prevented from owning land. Fortunately, goats take up little space so when you buy a goat you're giving a mom and women financial independence and the chance to lift her family out of poverty.
