Goats can be sold to raise funds for school fees or tools and when the goats have kids of their own, they are given to another family and the process starts all over again. And now with our goat couple, this gift can give twice as much. It's the perfect wedding gift for the couple who have it all.
Goats can play a key role in the livelihoods of rural communities, feeding on household waste – so they get rid of rubbish and unwanted scraps – and providing milk and manure as a bonus. As part of Oxfam Australia’s commitment to environmentally sound programs, goats are distributed to vulnerable families because they are easy to raise and take care of. “The distribution of goats through a revolving fund to orphans and other vulnerable children provides a source of income to allow them greater economic independence.” Charmaine Cônsul Gonçalves, Mozambique Coordinator, Oxfam Australia
