Sponsor a Goat - The Real Long-Term Benefit


A sponsor from the UK helped the Kibe’s buy a goat, we got a pregnant one so now there are 3. 2 girls and a boy. The original plan was for the UK people to sponsor George through school. However by buying goat, for the cost of 1 years schooling, we have a sustainable income stream through a breeding programme and milk production that can fund George's schooling to the end. If we do it right we may also be able to fund others in the family. All for the price of one years schooling - Result! 

Anyone else interested in sponsoring a goat for other needy and worthy families in Kenya please get in touch. We can keep you updated with photos and progress reports etc. 


So here they are Jasmine, Simon and Ruth (the goats) with Jane, Elliott and George. Jasmine (mum goat) now provides milk for 4 families and Ruth (daughter of Jasmine) is soon to be ready to start breeding. Simon (Son of Jasmine) will either be sent to breed with other goats or become lunch – quite a contrast in options from his perspective!!?
