REBUILDING LIVELIHOODS WITH LIVESTOCK

Lifting Hands International is proud to partner with Giving Refugees Hope in Uganda to provide the life-changing gift of chickens, goats, and pigs. Each animal is vet-inspected to ensure they are young and healthy, and free vet services continue for the first six months after distribution.

When you donate, you provide families with benefits like:

Financial Stability

Families living in poverty inside refugee camps can breed goats, chickens, and pigs for much needed income. Some families can also sell goat milk or eggs as part of their business. We provide business training and other support—like taking milk to market for 1 year and connecting families with restaurants interested in purchasing their products—to set their businesses up for success.

Self-Sufficiency

Refugee families want to be self-sufficient and provide for their own needs. However, many host countries restrict their ability to work, making them reliant on aid. Many of the families left animals behind when they fled for safety. A gift of livestock gives them the ability to provide for themselves in the same lifestyle they have known for generations.

Economic Mobility

The additional income from livestock pays for children’s school fees, medicine, improved housing, or food—immediately improving the quality of life of refugee families.

Lifting Hands International is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
