Four years ago, we first met Sarath.
Sarath lives with her three siblings and her grandparents in rural Cambodia. Like many in the area, Sarath's family were vulnerable, relying on the meagre income from her grandfather's farming activities. Faced with real challenges, Sarath's family accepted the gift of 3 goats and began to learn how to raise them, even though goat farming is not widely undertaken in Cambodia.
The gifts paid off!
Now Sarath’s family have turned the gift of 3 goats into a thriving heard of 20. By growing their herd, they have so far been able to sell 10 goats raising $1,000 over the last 2 years. The children are flourishing, their health has improved, their grades in school risen, and they are thinking about their futures.
World Vision Cambodia has identified 75 very vulnerable children and their families who live near our family whose impoverished circumstances are able to be tackled though an income generation program such as goats raising. With improved income, children are able to have improved nutrition, gain access to school (costs often keep poor children away from school).
How can I help?
Three goats (1 male and 2 females) can help lift a family out of their extreme
vulnerability and bring about meaningful change. By joining me in supporting
families, or buy purchasing a goat we can change the lives of 75 families in
the Kampong Chhnang Province of Cambodia.
$100 USD will provide 1 goat, and $300 USD will provide a family with 3 goats to start their own goat raising business. To donate, just click on the red "GIFT A GOAT" button above.
Is my gift Tax Deductible?
While your investment in empowering these families change their lives is not
tax deductible, 100% of your donation goes directly to the purchase of goats.
