How your gift helps

Your purchase of this gift empowers Tearfund’s partners’ work around food and livelihoods. Your generosity helps change lives, thank you!

Participation in an action group supported by Tearfund’s Christian partner Share and Care Nepal has given women access to opportunities that they otherwise wouldn’t have had – including raising goats!

As well as providing milk and manure fertiliser, goats can be bred and passed on to other families, sharing the benefits throughout the community. More than just a cute furry face, the gift of a goat gives people the skills and tools to transform their lives through better agriculture techniques, understanding of nutrition, and income generation.

“The goat rearing training gave me confidence to start rearing goats and now my business is going along well!” says one woman.
