The gift of a goat has been our top seller since 2005. And it’s not hard to see why. 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. It’s a sensible gift for the big kid in all of us.
Don’t flip your wig man, this goat is doing funky things to help out those who need it most. As part of Oxfam Australia’s commitment to the environment, goats are only provided to communities where goat keeping is a traditional way of life. We also provide training in keeping animals, vaccination and de-worming. “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 Program Coordinator, Oxfam Australia
