All profit from your Ethical Collection purchases goes towards funding Oxfam's work fighting poverty and suffering around the world. Agnes is proudly displaying her new textbook, purchased thanks to the Oxfam funded goat distribution programme.
It is a simple initiative that aims to ensure that people have enough food all year round by balancing the seasonal availability of food.
Goats breed easily and produce offspring that can be used as food in the dry season, when arable crops are unable to grow without irrigation. Using manure to increase growing-season harvests for sale, or trading offspring as livestock provides an income that may be used to improve homes or pay for school fees or equipment. All funds raised from the ethical collection are spent where they are needed most. Photograph: Abbie Trayler-Smith/Oxfam.
