No if's or butts a goat is a great gift. Even the kids can get involved. You start with one and end up with a herd. They can then be sold to raise cash for school fees, or tools and start to reduce poverty. Best of all, the first female kid is given to another family and the process starts all over again. So why not invest in a goat?

“As for the goats we received from Oxfam… I consider them a gift from the sky. Giving animals to people like us is very important. It gave me confidence and increased my family’s security because we now had assets.” Aiche Mint Imizine, Mauritania
