I understand what you mean, but actually it's quite the contrary. These gifts are sustainable. For instance, the chicken are kept for their eggs, also, they are taught to use their waste for fertilizer. The goats are all for milk. Not only can the milk help sustain a family, but they can also sell the extra milk so that the kids can go to school and buy books. Admittedly, the rabbits are for their meat, however, these families are also given classes so that they learn to breed them, and the meat is sustainable (we all know how fast rabbits reproduce).
That is the point of all this. Not just a hand out, but truly a hand up. These small gifts can change a families life around.
A great place to learn
