give a goat.

everybody needs a goat...yep even you can purchase a goat. not to keep mind you. but what a fabulous christmas idea for those 'hard to buy for' on your list! buy a goat for a ugandan for christmas for someone else. get it?? probably not. okay...we'll explain better. you send ACTS 35 dollars canadian...ACTS gives us 50 000 ugandan shillings - we buy a goat for someone here who needs one. why a goat you may ask?? well...like we said, everyone needs a goat. seriously though - goats are easy to keep, cheap to feed, good to procreate and can really help a family by providing milk and eventually meat (once the original goat kicks the dust...and it's offspring continue providing milk for the family). This is a win win situation. We buy the goats from locals - and give them away to locals who are in need....thereby supporting this community on two fronts.

how can you participate in this project?? send us an email, letting us know how many goats you would like to purchase - after the goats are delivered we will email you a picture of the community who received your goat. send a cheque to acts for $35/goat...marking the cheque as 'goat- bushara'. they will send you a tax receipt. if you would like to pay by credit card, get in contact with ACTS at info@acts.ca - and they can tell you how to do that. good times.
