MISSISSAUGA, ON, Dec. 16, 2015 /CNW/ - The animals in the World Vision Gift Catalogue aren't just cute and furry or feathered, they go the extra mile to help families in developing countries establish a reliable income source.
Canadians can give animals like goats, chickens and alpacas as gifts to families around the world on behalf of their own families or friends, and know that these gifts will have an impact long after Christmas festivities are over for the season.
When families receive an animal gift, they also receive training from World Vision about how to care for these animals, and how to run a successful animal-based business.
Here are some of the most popular animal gifts and how they help their new families.
Quotes:
"Giving an animal gift to a family means they have the chance to establish a sustainable income. For a family hoping to overcome poverty, this can be an important step forward."
