A Warm, Fuzzy Gift

A goat is one of the best gifts a struggling family can receive: it provides milk, wool and cashmere that the household can use or sell.

In Mongolia, goats are critical to herding families — as they have been for centuries. But many nomads have fallen on hard economic times and are giving up their traditions to seek other kinds of work.

Mercy Corps is helping them secure their livelihoods and maintain tradition. Your purchase of a Goat Kit will help give opportunity to families in one of the world's most isolated places.
