How are chickens, rabbits and goats a display of Jesus’ love? It’s simple, when a family receives one of these items they’re blessed with the income the animal provides. Smaller animals reproduce fast and their offspring can be sold. Larger animals can plow a field or pull a cart. Receiving a gift from the stable truly changes a life.
Camels
$493 each
Camels feel right at home Rajasthan, one of the hottest and driest places in India. They can work long hours in the heat with no problem and are used for plowing, transportation and hauling goods. Trucks quickly sink into sand. However, camels can carry up to 150kgs across a desert with no problem. Camel milk is also part of many diets in Rajasthan, and camel wool can even be woven into cloth.
Chickens
$16 for a pair
For the people of Asia, the gift of a pair of chickens is a chance to earn a steady living. The eggs produced by the chickens help provide food for a family. Imagine a little, malnourished child becoming stronger everyday because of this simple gift.
Cows
$540 each
Cows supply transportation, pull ploughs and carts and produce milk. Their calves are sold for income or kept to increase the size of the herd. This sturdy, all–in–one creature is often considered a member of the family.
Goats
$172 for a pair
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 share the happiness of Christmas with a poor family this year.
Lambs
$186 for a pair
One lamb will produce up to 8kgs of wool each year. That's like giving an Asian family 10kms of yarn! And wool is not the only thing lambs have to offer. Their rich nutritious milk is an excellent source of calcium and makes delicious cheese. Of course, a pair of lambs will reproduce, providing even more lambs for wool, milk, and meat.
Pigs
$79 for a pair
Giving a pair of pigs is like providing a steady income. Each pair can produce up to 20 piglets a year and each piglet will grow over 90kgs in less than five months. That's a lot of pork to feed a family!
Rabbits
$16 for a pair
They're furry. They're cute. And they can change someone's life. A pair of rabbits will quickly multiply, providing a steady diet of lean meat, and plenty of bunnies to sell. Rabbits are easy to feed and can be raised in a small space—an important consideration in the crowded areas of Asia.
Water Buffalo
$660 each
Haul a cart, give milk, plow a field. Your gift of a water buffalo helps a poor mother feed and send her children to school.
