Your wish list likely doesn’t include a goat.

But if you are living in a Third World country, a goat is a gift that keeps on giving, providing children with fresh milk.

Through World Vision, you can give the gift of livestock, fresh water, clothing and other necessities. In return, you receive a small memento to remind yourself and others to share the joy.

The World Vision Gift Catalog offers more than 250 items that help fight poverty and save lives in the United States and around the world. Donations buy the kinds of staples people need to be healthy and grow, including school supplies, seeds, and such life-changing gifts as a foot-powered water pump.

With a gift of $150 or more to the international Maximum Impact Fund  you will receive a trio of handmade Zakale  ornaments crafted from wire and beads in Nairobi. (Fair market tax deduction: $30.)

Zakale crafts are made from recycled materials by Kenyan artisans, who received a loan from World Vision to grow their business and lift themselves out of poverty. The collection includes three animals native to Kenya: a giraffe, an elephant and a water buffalo. Hang them on your tree and make a wish for a world where every kid who wants a goat gets the gift of a nanny.
