150,000 Goats Impacting 100 Villages & 1,000 Pastors

Holy Goats partners with bush pastors in Kenya to build sustainable goat businesses that lift churches, pastors, and communities out of poverty and onto stable self-funding.

The Challenge in Kenya’s Bush Regions

Millions of Kenyans live in semi-desert counties who:

Live on the equivalent of 1 USD per day
Have no running water or electricity
Ride for hours to get to a bank or a hospital
Often have no access to a school or church

Pastors here also live at or below the poverty line. They can feel forgotten by the urban churches and are sometimes seen as beggars when they advocate for the church’s needs and ministries. Staying in the ministry is often an existential economic struggle.

Our Solution: Holy Goats

Holy Goats creates cooperative goat businesses in hubs of bush pastors who already regularly work together. Instead of a one-time donation that is quickly spent, seed funding is invested into a herd of goats that multiplies year after year.

1

Start with 500 Goats

We help a hub of about 10 pastors start with around 500 goats, creating the foundation for growth.

2

Grow to 1,500 Goats

Over two years, the herd grows to a sustainable base of about 1,500 goats through careful management and breeding.

3

Generate $45,000 Annually

Each location manages 1500 goats as an economic engine, producing 800 babies each year. Selling back down to our 1500-goat level generates $45,000 USD in annual sales.

Why Holy Goats Is Different

Cooperatively-Led

Goats are co-managed between pastors and the Holy Goats leadership team

Self-Replicating, Sustaining & Scalable

Each business, once stable, helps fund the next location.

Holistic Impact

Provides hope, dignity of work, self-direction, ministry expansion, income, goat care, water wells, etc.

Deeply Faith-Rooted

Few businesses have more pastors involved 🙂 Everything is grounded in prayer, scripture and the conviction that God can do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Eph 3:20 NIV)

Economic Engines

Seed money is developed into a goat business that generates income every year. This significantly increases generosity and enables self-funding.
