Thank for this list. I just sponsored a precious girl from Rwanda last week and sent a family gift today to be used as the family needs. It is interesting to see what things cost. I have no idea what an iron sheet is. Can you explain?
Hi Sally! I do not work for Compassion, but I have family in construction, and an iron sheet is just a sheet of flat iron used for roofing or siding on a house. Hope this helps!
Ok. Thanks. That's heavy-duty for sure!
The boy we sponsor in Rwanda bought a banana plantation with $100.
Jessica, that is so incredible! Thank you so much for sharing how abundantly God used your gift to bless your boy and his family! This could be a complete life changing opportunity for them! I pray that God gives them the wisdom to steward this plantation well and that he blesses the fruit of their labors :). Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! I'm excited for you to grow with them in this new and exciting door God's opened up!

Do you have this for columbia?
How much do things cost in Kenya and Uganda. I found it amazing that my family gift for my child in Uganda was able to by a goat with kids.

Hi Laura! That's a great question! In Kenya, a goat costs anywhere from 5,000 - 7,000 KES (Kenyan Shillings), which translates to $48 - $67. In Uganda, a goat costs about 150,000 UGX (Ugandan Shillings), which translates to about $40. Thank you for your generous gift and for allowing your family the opportunity to get this wonderful gift! :)
My Ugandan gift got two sheep (Or maybe a sheep and a lamb) I, too, was amazed

Hi Roxanne! I have updated the costs of gifts in Rwanda on this post for you :). I am also emailing you a more detailed list. Have a blessed day!
Can I also have the email with the more detailed list? Thanks so much!

Hi Vicki! I would be happy to email you that list. :)
I had a blessing come to me of extra money and I sent my family in Rwanda $700. They bought goats and a cow. Compassion sent pictures of the family and animals. After reading about the poverty in Rwanda, I am so happy they were able to add to thier farm so they can eat and have milk. What an HONOR to be able to bless this family. GOD IS GOOD.
