From the Stable
Animals still play a crucial role in many people's lives in South Asia. These animals provide sustenance and produce income when their milk or offspring are sold. When you make a gift of livestock, you are offering a very tangible expression of Christ's love. Here are some animals you can pick out for such families. Why not invite your Bible study group to join you in extending these blessings to people in need? Or if you have children, they may enjoy selecting these items for parents and children in Asia.
Goats
Suggested donation: $140.00 for a pair
When a Dalit family receives your present of a goat or a pair of goats it will be a special day! Goats are hardy and can live in almost any climate. And a pair of goats produces at least two kids each year. Their manure is also good fertilizer. Your gift of goats will be a good way to bring a little joy to a poor family's world.
Rabbits
Suggested donation: $11 for a pair
You can give a pair of rabbits and help ensure a nutritious diet for growing families as they produce up to 40 bunnies a year! After a pair is given back to the church for distribution, additional offspring can also provide income for the family as well as nourishing meals.
Pigs
Suggested donation: $65 for a pair
A pig 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, and bacon and pork can soon follow. Income from the sale of the piglets also aids the family, and as with all animals GFA provides, offspring given back to the church will help other families get a "leg up" economically and socially.
