Hens & Goats
Give the Gift of a Hen or Goat
$20 buys a hen
$120 buys a goat
Providing a hen or goat to vulnerable women is one of the most powerful ways to mitigate poverty.
The milk and eggs supplied by just one hen or goat can provide crucial nourishment for families as well as products to sell. Hens are easy to raise and multiply quickly while a hearty goat can survive in harsh conditions.
Read about women who have already benefitted from this program:
- Eunice, who cares for three orphaned children, received one hen a few years ago. Now she has many roosters, hens and chicks to help supply her family's needs.
- Queen is a widow who also received a hen a few years ago. Through the sale of the eggs she was able to provide an education for her son in the Youth Polytechnic school. Now her son is employed and helping support her.
- Hellen, who lives with HIV, was given a goat and graduated to owning a cow. Her cow produces 3 liters of milk a day, which she sells locally to support her 4 children.
Women are strong and long to provide for their families. Help us empower them by providing hens and goats.
Give a Meaningful Gift!
When you donate to the Hens and Goats Program you will receive a picture of the family who received your hen or goat (please allow several months for the photo).
D4G can send a card of thanks to your family or friends sharing the good news of the gift given in their honor. Once you've donated a hen/goat, email Dignity4Girls@gmail.com and provide the contact information for the gift recipient.
REMEMBERING Gayle
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our founder, Gayle Sommerfed. On September 24, 2025, Gayle went home to be with her Lord and Savior.
Gayle was a visionary who, motivated by the struggle of Kenyan girls missing school due to period poverty, founded Dignity4Girls in 2014. Inspired by her vision and leadership, D4G has helped over 10,000 girls and women gain access to life-changing menstrual solutions leading to better health, education, and brighter futures.
