Last time you were here, you were looking to help vulnerable children and families. Your support can save and change lives.
To help children grow up happy, healthy and strong, ChildFund in Brazil has worked with communities to improve poor nutrition and limited income generation opportunities. The distribution of fruit trees such as guava, mango and orange has provided children with fresh, vitamin-rich foods and families with an ongoing method of earning an income.
“Once again you have brought us good things; it’s going to be great for my family.”
When we say goats are a fantastic resource for families in need, we’re not kidding! Thanks to the Donations with a Difference program, 42 year old Jennifer in Zambia now has seven goats which provide over three litres of milk per day for her two children, Yvonne and Maurice.
“The ones (goats) I got have already given me four extras” says Jennifer proudly. “Early next year (2010) I will pass on four she-goats to my neighbour because I know by then the other goat would have given birth to a she-goat.”
As well as providing an ongoing solution to poverty and poor nutrition, Jennifer says the ChildFund program has boosted the self-belief and empowerment of women in the community, which is an important step for improving the lives of children.
