Programs in Action

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

We’ve written before about some programs across the world to help folks become more self-sufficient. Today we’re happy to share the story of one of those people.

Dorothy Chapanga lives in Zambia. Her kids were hungry and her prospects were poor but World Vision gave her a goat. That goat gave her a few more goats and now Dorothy’s future, and that of her children, is bright.

World Vision quotes: “The goats are a security to my family,” says Dorothy. “I know that even if I died today, they would continue helping my children because they can still multiply… each one can have his or her own and they can keep on living and benefiting from the goats.”

What could be better than that?
