the goat project
BACK TO SCHOOL 2025
“My goat has provided for my school fees, books, and uniform. Without it, my dream of going to school would have been impossible.”
- Sakina, Age 12, Ghana
How do goats provide education?
Here’s how it works:
1. A female goat is given to a child.
2. When the goat produces offspring, they can be sold at market.
3. The proceeds can be used for school fees and other necessary items for the child to receive their education.
3. When Children are able to receive an education it breaks the cycle of poverty and persecution in rural Africa.

“When food ran out, we sold one goat for maize to feed the family. Later, we sold two more to pay school fees. Because of this, my daughter is in school today—and we have also discovered the love and salvation of Jesus.”
- Abina, Mother, Ghana
goats for everyone…
Since its inception, over 20,000 goats have been provided to vulnerable children and their families in Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya. When neighboring Muslims witnessed the success of the program, they began asking for goats as well. Call of Hope then began including Muslim children in the program, which offered the unique opportunity to share the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ.
By making a way for these children to receive an education, Call of Hope is building a bridge for whole villages to see the love of Jesus as demonstrated by His people. Already, many Muslims have come to a saving faith in Jesus.
To help them grow in their faith, new Christians are also given Bibles in their native tongue, and are discipled by frontline workers.
With your help, the life-changing gift of a goat can provide an education to a child and reach Muslims with the Gospel all across Africa!

This kind of visit has become a regular for Brother Abdul, and it certainly has not gotten old for him. As one of our leading frontline workers in Nigeria, he frequents different rural villages of northern Nigeria, aiding in the distribution of goats for the Goat Project.
