A Gift from the Heart

Cow

Goat

With the capability of producing more than one kid annually, combined with their production of nutritious milk and fertile manure, goats are an exceptional gift for any occasion!

Chicken

For the dietary protein their eggs offer, there is reason enough to purchase chickens for the Kulubel farm.  But when you consider their high production rate, as well as their added value as provider of fertilizer and pest control, chickens can never been seen as a bad gift.

Mosquito nets for a block of student housing (20 mothers and their children)

$100.00

Trauma counseling for one formerly abducted child mother for a year
