I recently spent a couple of days visiting
World Concern rural projects in Haiti. As we met with the beneficiaries of the "kids who love kids" program, our discussion and photo session was rudely interrupted by a horrific obstruction to this fabulous program, which has seen children multiply a single goat into a herd of 15 goats AND pay for a high school education. See below for information about the roadblocks faced by these kids...

It is fortunate that the intrepid journalist Frank Thorp, who is constantly keeping his eye out for danger while
On the Goat Path, caught this on camera. We now have clear evidence of a bogeyman siezing goats while the children are unaware. Hopefully, steps to mitigate this hazard will be made, and the program can continue to provide school fees, disposable income and food sovereignty to Haitian children, while improving the breeding stock of goat herds.
Humour aside, this is a truly innovative program, designed by the World Concern Haiti Country Director, which not only provides education and income for one child, but multiplies the gift to a second child. Check out
this story, which addresses the
real problems these children face, and the opportunity a single goat can provide. If you would like to purchase a goat for a Haitian child, please consider the
Global Gift Guide, and the
Kids who Love Kids program.
