Two ducks, a pig and a goat. It doesn’t sound like much but they add up to a whole world of difference to someone trying to make a living — literally — in an impoverished community overseas. By helping provide ongoing food, fertiliser and income, this card helps create a brighter future for a farmer, their family and their community.

“Livestock distribution is an important part of Oxfam’s program work, as it gives people a way to create their own solutions to poverty. Animals produce food, like eggs and milk, improving the health of an entire household, and when bred they can be sold for income that can go towards education and building a brighter future.” Andrew Hartwich, Southern Africa Regional Manager, Oxfam Australia.
