Beatrice Biira
After her family was rescued from desperate poverty by being given a 
goat, young Beatrice Biira was able to get an education, and she 
became an international advocate and speaker in support of education 
and against poverty.
*
It may be hard to imagine that a goat changed someone’s life, but it’s true. In fact, the 
story of Beatrice Biira shows that goats can help change the world!
Beatrice was a child living in Kisinga, a poor village in the west of Uganda, when the 
goat arrived. The animal was a gift from Heifer International, an aid agency that provides 
animals to help struggling families like Beatrice’s in many countries.
Owning a goat completely changed the world for Beatrice and her family, who were 
desperately poor. Suddenly, they had milk to drink and improve their health, extra milk to 
sell and provide urgently needed money, goat droppings to use as fertilizer for growing 
food, and a sense of hope for the future.
The extra money also meant that her family could afford to pay for school fees, books, 
and a uniform, so Beatrice was able to get the most powerful possession in the world - an 
education. As a bright and determined girl, Beatrice was ready to take full advantage of 
her new opportunities, and her intelligence and willingness to work hard made her stand 
out among the students.
Meanwhile, Heifer International saw what a huge difference their help had made and 
decided to use Beatrice Biira’s story to encourage people to support their program. They 


created a book entitled Beatrice’s Goat to explain how just one goat, cow, or other farm 
animal can rescue a family from poverty. The book was so popular that they invited Biira 
to go to the United States and tell her story to the public and the media. Wherever she 
went, she touched people’s hearts and earned their admiration.
With the support of a scholarship, Beatrice Biira went on to attend Connecticut College, 
earning a BA in International Development and Social Change. As of this writing, she is 
working toward an MA in Public Service from the Clinton School of Public Service.
Biira is the outreach coordinator for Millennium Promise and Connect To Learn. She 
mobilizes and energizes communities on behalf of global campaigns to end extreme 
poverty in our lifetime, and to educate girls and boys through high-tech platforms.
Beatrice Biira’s life was transformed by her opportunity to get an education, and that was 
made possible by the gift of a goat. She is now changing the lives of others in poverty.
