If i had to pick two charities that i trusted to understand the consequences of giving animals to impoverished african families, it would be Heifer International and the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. That's not to say it won't have unintended consequences, but this is kind of what they do. I'm sure they've studied the ramifications of the programs they run more than any HN commenters have.
