" Where There’s a Woman With

                        a Will There’s a Way…"

Last December Laguna resident Rosalind Russell started a unique program to help the people of Nepal through the women primarily. It is the second poorest country in the world.  Many earn less than $1.00 a day. Fighting poverty with goats for women is what Russell’s program is all about; and it is working beyond all expectations!

With donations from caring people in the United States and abroad, Rosalind buys 

goats, (most are pregnant at the purchase or ready for breeding).  She delivers 2 goats to each woman in a previously chosen village. Many of the villages are suppressed by Communism making it dangerous for Russell to even be there.

Each woman who is a part of the program agrees not to eat the goats for two years. They are also given training on how to care for the goats for commerce. For many women this program has meant a step out of poverty in all ways and a way to help their self-esteem, their families and villages. The program is a huge success and has opened doors to other dreams of improving conditions in Nepal. Rosalind wants to return again this January duplicating what was done along with providing goats for the women in two more villages. Each goat costs $125.00 to get placed.

This is a golden opportunity for you or for anyone who wants to give where they know it is making a difference. Russell personally over sees each goat purchase and delivery and the whole process is documented by the news media in Nepal, as well as by the government. Donations are tax deductible through R Star Foundation, (a 501© 3 status since 1997). If you or your group would like more information or are interested in purchasing a goat, or a portion of a goat please contact:
