Fight poverty in Africa with sustainable agricultural programmes - making a donation to Send a Cow organisation


Make a donation to Send a Cow and become part of a chain of giving. For every person they help directly, another 10 will go on to benefit.

Your donation will mean some of the poorest families in Africa receive gifts of livestock such as cows, goats, bees or poultry. It will mean that they also receive training in organic farming methods and other services to help them make the most of their gift. It will mean hope and renewed life.

And these people can then become donors themselves - passing on the gifts and training to other families in need. Creating a chain of giving that keeps on going.

- Donation £10 could provide four fruit tree saplings, giving a family a source of income

- Donation £25 could provide a week's worth of support for a community group

- Donation £45 could provide a farmer with the basic equipment to demonstrate techniques and provide training sessions, including a garden fork, watering can, welly boots, a spade, wheel barrow, garden rake, hoe and improved seeds.

- Donation £200 could transform a community. When Send a Cow works with a community, they include everyone, empowering those marginalised to take control of their animals, their fields, and their lives.

About Send a Cow

Send a Cow runs sustainable agricultural programmes in seven countries in Africa to help small-scale farmers overcome poverty and malnutrition. They were founded in 1988 by a group of UK farmers who sent cows to families in post-conflict Uganda. They are a Christian charity, which treats all people equally regardless of race, gender or creed. All those they work with undertake to pass on the benefits they gain, such as livestock and skills, to another family, so their work goes on multiplying throughout communities.

You can help them by making a donation to Send a Cow organisation - http://www.sendacow.org.uk//index.php
