[ GOAT KIT ]

In rural areas where jobs are few and economies are based on agriculture, livestock is a family's best investment. Goats are one of the hardiest animals that farmers can raise, able to eat nearly any kind of greenery for fodder and requiring little veterinary assistance. They provide milk that families can use to drink, or to make yogurt or cheese.

A goat herd produces multiple offspring each year, giving a poor family much-needed income or food. Mercy Corps helps these families procure goats through innovative programs like the Small Species Project in Honduras. Your purchase of a Goat Kit helps provide a family with a pair of goats, and with training to raise and breed them successfully.

When you buy a Mercy Kit, we will deliver a beautiful, full-color card to your recipient by regular mail or email — you choose. This card describes in detail how your gift is supporting Mercy Corps' work around the world. A Mercy Kit is a caring, convenient way to share your commitment with a friend or loved one.
