Goats — A goat named Chuy
Goats are so wonderful. They provide millions of families across the
world with vital nutrients from milk, butter, cheese and yogurt. Goat's milk
is the only milk known to half the world's people; in fact, more people worldwide
drink goat’s milk than cow’s milk. A dairy goat can supply several quarts of
nutritious milk every day, enough for a family to drink, share with neighbors
and still have enough left over to sell. The protein in milk can transform sick,
malnourished children into healthy boys and girls. Goats often give birth to
two or three kids a year, which means that Heifer recipient families can start
small dairies that can pay for food, health care and education. Goats can thrive
in extreme climates and on poor, dry land by eating grass and leaves, and their
manure also makes great fertilizer that helps to improve crop yields. “Passing
on the Gift” means the recipients agree to share the offspring of donated animals
with others in need, who in turn agree to pass on an animal, creating a chain
of income and self-reliance that keeps on giving.
Tropical Living says “Thank You” with Heifer International
As Tropical Living's way of saying “thank you", whenever you buy an island, rent one of our properties for a week or longer, or buy one of our homeware collections, Tropical Living will purchase a livestock animal from Heifer International on your behalf for a family in need. Heifer International is a non-profit community development organization whose goal for over 60 years has been to help end world hunger and poverty through self-reliance and sustainability. They have a simple but powerful vision: that a gift of livestock and training can transform the lives of impoverished families. They help by teaching people how to produce food and income for themselves using donated animals. Heifer also helps communities flourish through small loans and enterprise planning and has helped more than seven million families lift themselves from poverty to self-reliance, providing hope for the future for hungry families all over the world.
