In addition to the
"Credit with Education" program, Freedom From Hunger initiated
a program called "Kids for Kids". With this program, FFH provides
elementary school children with baby goats. The children are trained
to care for the goat, and when it bears it's first offspring they are
required to donate a "kid" back into the program.
The program has become a great success. The goats produce milk and meat
for a family, but that's not all. A few years into the program, a side
benefit was noticed....since children receive goats only when they have
succesfully reached the 6th grade, they stay in school ! (click the
