Description:

In the Horn of Africa, part of the Africa East Field, many families survive on less than two dollars a day. Rural farmers and their families have an even more vulnerable existence as they rely on seasonal rains not only to feed their families but also to make a living (subsistence farming). And in Ethiopia a country comprised of upwards of 100 million souls - more than 70% of the population call themselves subsistence farmers ('gerbereh' in Amharic).

This much-needed project serves as a practical income generating effort for Nazarenes in need in the Horn and their neighbors. By providing animals such as chickens, goats, sheep, cows and even camels, lives can be vastly improved.

While always dependent on the market, approximate costs are:

- Cow - $800
< - Sheep and goats - $100 each
< - Small flock of chickens - $50

A donation of any size would be a blessing. When possible, a pregnant female animal will be purchased and its offspring given to another needy family in Jesus name. Simple, self-sustaining projects like this can greatly alleviate poverty and share the love of Jesus Christ in tangible and meaningful ways.

Will you be a part of this practical help for our brothers and sisters in the Horn of Africa?
