Description
A goat is a great gift idea because it produces milk for families to drink, and provides income when sold.
In Burundi, 'goat banks' provide farmers with an opportunity to invest in the future of their community.
A group of farmers are given three goats, two female and one male.
Each member of the goat bank agree to provide food and shelter for their animal, and that they will pass on one of the kids from the first 'next generation' to the next member of the group.
This revolving fund ensures that a whole community benefits from one goat.
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.
