“Kids 2 Kids” — a proven solution to poverty and hunger!

The only thing that may be harder for a parent than knowing a child you love is sick, is the frustration of being powerless to help. For Cosmas, it hurt him deeply to see his beloved little girl so hungry and sickly, and to not have the money to buy her food. Today, however, he knows the joy of being a provider, and of having healthy, happy children who are growing up strong. It’s simply extraordinary the difference one “kid” can make for another. Give Now!

Thanks to you, goats can make a world of difference!

There is no better way to explain the difference in the world

Sophia Wilson from Tanzania

into which Sophia was born, and the one her baby brother Joshua found seven years later, than to simply point out that then, they did not have goats … and now they do.

It’s amazing but it’s true. Then, parents Edina and Cosmas had neither enough food, nor money to buy it. Their small farm was unproductive. Sophia was always hungry and sickly. Cosmas skipped meals but still there was not enough for his wife and daughter to eat. And it was hard to imagine that things would change.

But thanks to friend like you, we were able to supply Edina and Cosmas with two little goats. And things began to change almost immediately!

The program is called “Kids 2 Kids”

Alex Apolo-Moran from Ecuador

for several reasons. One is that goats are gentle, so children often help to care for them. Another is that children love goat milk and goat cheese so much.

But I think the most important reason is that children benefit so profoundly from the improved nutrition and economic opportunity that comes from having goats.

“Kids 2 Kids” — a proven solution to poverty and hunger!

Luciana Banushi from Albania

• In Peru, Alex Apolo-Moran is not only stronger and healthier because his family received goats from Heifer, he and his brothers are also able to attend school.

• In Albania, Luciana Banushi has discovered a real “sweet tooth” for goat milk. And no one can argue that having money, and enough food to eat, has made a “sweet” difference for her family.

• In China, the parents of Xiaolin and Xiaolong remember when their little sons “had only potatoes to eat.” Now, because of the extra money they earn from selling their surplus goat milk, they have rice, meat and eggs, and everyone’s health has improved.

Your generosity makes stories like these possible. Please make an online gift now!

That’s the difference of Kids 2 Kids. And that’s the reason your

help is needed so urgently.

At Heifer we provide animals and training to create sustainable solutions to poverty and hunger. That could mean chickens, sheep, cows, even water buffalo, depending on a family’s location, culture, climate and other needs.

But very often, especially for families with small children, it is goats that are making such a difference improving lives.

Please make an online donation to support Heifer International and our 2008 Kids 2 Kids Campaign. There are so many families who need the help that Sophia and Joshua and their family received. Your gift can make it possible for us help even more families, and give them a chance at hope, health and happiness.

When children are hungry, your support can really make the difference! Thank you for supporting our Kids 2 Kids Campaign, and for making a secure online gift today!
