In today’s incredibly modern world it’s hard to imagine how something as simple as a goat could save someone’s life.

But it can.

Imagine arriving home from a long day of work to find a noisy, smelly goat standing right in the middle of your living room. You’d probably be pretty upset. You’d wonder how it got there, and who you could call to get rid of it.

But if you were a mother with starving children to feed living in a small village in Africa, you would rejoice at the site of a goat.

Why? Because goats produce a ton (literally) of nutritious milk each year. You’d also be able to use the goat’s manure to fertilize crops, thus greatly improving your crop yield.

Yes, talking about goat manure may seem crude, but please don’t let that keep you from reading on. We’ll make it easy for you to help change the world.

Consider these facts:

• » Fact: Half of the world’s population lives on less than $2 a day (nearly three billion people).
• » Fact: Approximately 800 million people in the developing world are chronically undernourished.
• » Fact: 30,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world”.
• » Fact: Goats can make a difference.

Even if you’re a fast reader, 20 to 30 children will die before you finish reading this page. It’s horrify and overwhelming, but goats can help.

When looking at the daunting challenge of eradicating world poverty it’s easy to become discouraged. But don’t be, you can help. Even though you can’t help everyone, you can help someone. When it comes to saving human lives no contribution is ‘statistically insignificant’.

This is where the goats come in. urcause is a charitable organization that provides gifts of livestock and training to needy families around the world in an effort to eradicate poverty and hunger.

Ever heard the proverb, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”? That’s exactly what urcause does. We teach people to herd goats. Actually we provide goats and training.

We empower people to raise themselves out of poverty. Will you make urcause your cause?

Our approach is simple, practical, and sustainable. Not to mention, it works!
