Thank you, donors, for this splendid Gift of Goats!
The generous year-end donations we received enabled us to buy 60 beautiful, full-grown, pregnant goats for the women of Copakika and Cooperative. Since we adopted this community one year ago, our Rwanda Team has been helping the members develop a sense of cohesion and purpose, and helping their leaders acquire the awareness, confidence, and skills they need to lift their people out of extreme poverty. Last August, we gave each woman a mattress to sleep on, which, in one stroke, gave them a new feeling about their lives. In January, we gave each woman a goat to call her own.
Please take 2 minutes to their outpouring of love, joy, and gratitude!

- Stephanie: “I know what this goat is going to do for my family. I have a million reasons to hold her with utmost care. Through this goat, dreams to become self-sustaining will become a reality. We were people who thought no one cared about us. Thank you so much, donors. You truly mean so much in our development.”

- Beatrice: “These are the fruits from our relationship with our sisters from U.S. that will lead us into a sustainable future. We have not known our sisters for long time, but you can see how far they have already taken us. Together, our lives won’t be the same and we are already changing. We love you so much.”

- Venantie: “I remember when I was given a mattress, I felt I was not on the earth. My life is no longer the same because of that mattress. You can imagine what’s gonna happen for me to own a goat of such a significant importance in my life. I feel I will die of joy! These people will walk with us to find solutions to our extreme poverty. Thank you so much, friends.”

- Jeaninne: “Our donors have done something we never thought would happen. We thank you so much and we promise you that we are going to do our best to turn this into something sustainable and we will make it all the way.

- Justin: “We are watching goats transform lives in our communities. On this day of the goat delivery, all members were so overjoyed. They expressed their emotions through singing and dancing and had really heartfelt moments together. My words can never be enough to tell our donors how meaningful their generosity is to these people.”
