They gather people like you to donate gifts of farm animals. Thats right. You can donate not just money, but an animal that can help families become self reliant and sustainable in their own communities. The catalog of animals, like heifers, water buffalo, goats, geese, honeybees, etc. has a wealth of information regarding what kinds of animals benefit different poverty situations.
This method of teaching struggling families how to grow their own food, cultivate it, sell it, and return the profits to the community by passing on the benefits can help create a more independent community. A community that works together to make itself stronger and healthier.
The cornerstones of their organization create the acronym: PASSING on the GIFTS

Nutrition and income

You wanna know what else is cool? Kids at school can use this program as a fundraiser for their classmates. What better way to teach the next generation about sustainability and caring for our communities than by encouraging them and teaching them to help their fellow man!?
Please, check it out and see if you can gather your own community to chip in and help a community in need!
Aren't they nice little sheep?
