Imagine just beginning to adjust to your first official year as a teenager. It was a complicated mess that for most, doesn’t include starting an international non-profit organization.
This week’s speaker, Dante Reminick, shared how one trip to Uganda at 13 years old influenced the course of his life. Reminick started Give A Goat, a non-profit organization, that allows youth to make a difference in other youth’s lives even from across the globe.
Fundraising allows Reminick to purchase a goat in Uganda, approximately $125 per goat, and then have the goat given to a youth in need chosen by the community leaders.
A goat serves as a source of nutrition and business for these youth. The fertile milk goats produce around 6-10 cups of milk per day and produce around 2-3 offspring per year.
Perhaps the most incredible feature of this organization is its sustainability. Every youth that receives a goat is required to sign a memorandum of understanding stating that they will give one of their goat’s offspring to another youth in need. Reminick created a never ending cycle of hope for youth in Uganda through goats.
