Description
A herd of goats is a highly prized commodity in Burundi.
The goats form the basis of a 'goat bank'. Farmers join the bank and provide food and shelter for a goat.
When the goat has kids, one of the next generation is given back to the bank. The bank then passes the kid to the next farmer who joins the bank.
They produce milk to drink, kids to sell and their droppings help fertilise the land so that vegetables can be grown to feed families.

About Present Aid, Christian Aid
Present Aid is an ethical gift shop with a difference. Our gifts are virtual. This means you can buy presents for a friend or relative, and the money you pay becomes a donation to Christian Aid. We send a fun card to the person who you're buying the gift for, explaining how their gift is going towards changing people's lives. The gift you choose - be it a football for a sports fan or seeds and tools for a keen gardener, help people living in poverty all over the world.
