At home in rough, mountainous areas of Latin America, alpacas are a blessing to families with limited resources.
Alpacas provide invaluable sources of income and wool, which is prized for making blankets, ponchos, carpet and rope. Plus, their soft feet and unique grazing methods mean they live harmoniously in their fragile Andean environment and help our project families preserve their limited resources.
By donating a mating pair of alpacas, you'll give a family the ability to Pass on the Gift to another member of their community. This powerful act transforms the recipient into a donor. Your donation creates a cycle of sustainable income for entire communities.
