Send a girl like Emmy to school
Not long ago, Emmy struggled to keep up at school — hunger pangs and lack of supplies made it hard to concentrate. But with the gift of goats, her family now earns enough to provide three meals a day and buy all the supplies she needs. Since her nutrition at home improved, she’s shot to the top of the class.
Your support today can send another girl to school tomorrow.
