Mama Maria Kenya Gift Certificates

Here's a truly amazing way to give a powerful and touching gift.

When you buy a Mama Maria Gift Certificate, you can purchase a goat (or a herd of goats!), or simply make a donation in someone's name. A small gesture . . . that could literally save a life.

Giving is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

  1. Click the Buy Now button to buy a goat (and the number you'd like to purchase), or select Donate to choose the dollar amount you'd like to donate.
  2. Complete your PayPal transaction.
  3. After completing the transaction, you will go to the Print Gift Certificate page. Print and personalize your card to give away!

For some background on your gifts, read on.

Life-Saving Goats

Mama Maria's Goat Program provides for the dire, unexpected moments of those who stand the most in need in the village. Goats are made available for sale to support medical emergencies that require the use of the Mama Maria ambulance and incurred hospital fees.

Many times, even when transport is available, locals refuse emergency medical care at the hospital due to the fact they simply cannot afford it. This is often a death sentence. Donating a goat means giving a family a chance in the face of a critical emergency. Goats cost $28.

How often can $28 save a life?
