This is the kind of story I love to hear. Over the years I have heard many stories like this where a whole community is helped toward becoming self sufficient. I remember on where they helped the village to become pig farmers and they were self sufficient within a year! This is one of the reasons I love Compassion so much.

I am so excited to see this article! Congratulate all who gave funds for glory of God and their time too. I participated in writing the proposal…now outside Compassion for studies in New Zealand I still feel blessed as if I got the goat myself!
God bless you all for giving.

Praise God for men and women who are willing to give their lives and resources to furthering the Kingdom of Heaven. Just simply giving money to the Massai wouldn’t have done much for long. Giving them a resource they could relate to and use to make their money themselves, not only gives them in come, it gives them dignity and some self-confidence that through the strength of God they are able to provide for their family. What a blessing! Thank you Compassion for responding to the call and answering the need. God bless you all tremendously.

Oh!This a must read story that has eventually published to glorify God. I’m so excited to read this story because I was among of the witnesses during goats’ distribution. Really,these goats have played a major role to transform the lives of maasai community socially, economically as well as physically. May God bless you all who are reading this remarkable story!

Isn’t it amazing the impact one simple gesture can make? A goat would seem so trivial to most people…

This is such a great story of how Compassion’s ministry makes a real difference and helps to break the cycle of poverty. Thanks so much for sharing it! I’m going to send the link to our team of advocates, right now!

I am thrilled to see how this fundraising effort impacted the lives of the families in Likamba. It will mean a lot to the customers, Fashion Consultants and the staff at Optionelle to see how their contribution will make a lasting difference to these families.
