When floods and other natural disasters strike vulnerable areas of the world, little or nothing is left standing. Entire villages including homes, croplands and livelihoods are swept away literally overnight. But just as quickly, a single household asset such as a goat can offer a new beginning for families who have lost everything.
$120 can provide a goat for a disaster-stricken family, providing milk for malnourished children as well as a chance to begin rebuilding their lives.
Give a goat this holiday season as a symbolic gift that represents the International Rescue Committee’s efforts helping people rebuild in the wake of disasters.
