200,000 Glasses of Milk. Over a cow's lifetime, it can produce up to 200,000 glasses of milk. That's more than enough for an entire Asian family—with plenty left over to sell! Cows provide milk filled with calcium, vitamin D and protein to help kids develop strong minds, bones and muscles. And the milk can be used for more than just a drink . . . it can become yogurt, cheese and butter, too! Cows also produce calves that can be sold for additional income. A gift of $540 provides a cow for a needy family.
EGGcellent Protein. Why did the chicken cross the road? To provide 250–300 eggs a year for a family in Asia! Each of these eggs is packed with nutrients like high–quality protein and vitamins B12 and D. Imagine a little, malnourished child becoming smarter and stronger every day as he gobbles up his delicious eggs! And when his family's chickens reproduce, they can sell the chicks for additional income. You can bless a South Asian family with a pair of chickens for just $16.
"Getting these goats" won't annoy anyone; in fact, they'll make a family in Asia rejoice! Goats are hardy and can live in almost any climate. And a pair of goats produces at least two offspring each year and generates plenty of milk to drink and sell. Your gift of goats—given in the name of Jesus—is a good way to bring joy into a poor family's world. Goats are $86 each or $172 for a pair!
Fleece as White as Snow. One lamb can produce up to 30 pounds of wool per year—each pound making up to 10 miles of yarn! Richer in nutrients than cow's milk, sheep's milk is delicious to drink and perfect for making cheese. And every year, a pair of sheep can also reproduce lambs that can be sold at market—and they commonly deliver twins! They're also a great source of lean meat. You can share these living symbols of God's love for $93 each or $186 for a pair.
The Gift that Keeps on Giving . . . Quickly. Give the gift that will multiply like, well . . . like rabbits. A pair of Christmas bunnies will help provide a steady, nutritious diet of lean meat for a growing family. A mummy rabbit can produce several litters a year, each with up to 12 bunnies. So raising rabbits is a wonderful way for a poor family to provide food for their children and generate income as well. Provide a pair of rabbits for $16.
Bring Home the Bacon. A pig can live up to 15 years—that's a Christmas present that will last a long time! And a pair of pigs provides a litter with up to nine piglets every year! That's a lot of bacon (and ham and sausage) that can be used for food and income. You can give a pig for just $78.
