A Christmas gift of a water buffalo to a poor family in South Asia is one that will bring provision for years to come.

A pig for Christmas may not sound like a typical gift, but if you were a poor South Asian family, it would be wonderful! A pair of pigs provides a litter of piglets every year for food and income. You can give a pair of pigs for just $55.

Lambs are an eternal symbol of God’s love for us in the gift of His Son. What better way to share the message of this redemptive love with a poor family than through a lamb that can grow to provide wool for income and milk to drink? A pair of sheep can produce lambs that can be sold at market, and they are also a source of meat. You can share these living symbols of God’s love for $65 each or $130 for a pair.

Cows seem to be everywhere in India—but poor families often don’t have one. Cows provide plenty of good milk to drink . . . and to make yogurt, cheese and butter! They also produce calves that can be sold for income or used to produce dairy products for additional income. A dairy cow is not only a wonderful Christmas present, but it is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. A gift of $375 provides a cow for a needy Dalit family.

Did you ever receive a rooster or hen as a Christmas present? Maybe not, but for the family of a Bridge of Hope child, these animals are a welcome gift—and often the source of anywhere from 200–300 eggs a year! And when the pair produces chicks, a brood develops that will provide nourishment and income for years. For just $11, you can bless a South Asian family with a pair of chickens.
