	Buys a goat for a family Providing a family with an animal offers a source of livelihood. Animals are bred and used for meat, milk and trade. With even one or two animals, a family can greatly improve their living standards.

Goats help so much! Every mama has a child. Every child needs milk. Every goat has milk. Therefore, goats help children’s health and nutrition. Goats even help your future. If you need to take your child to the hospital and you don’t have money, you can sell your goat. Goats are our bank accounts.

I started boiling water for washing dishes after standard 6 when Free The Children health people came and taught us. There have been no waterborne diseases since then. Mother asked me why I boil the water and I explained the importance. Mother and father said to continue because this is very good.
