Send a Cow works hand in hand with poor families, teaching them the skills they need to build new lives free from poverty and hunger. By providing training, livestock, seeds and support, they restore hope and create stronger communities for the future.

In turn, these families then pass on young livestock, seeds or training to others and so on. This ‘Pass it On’ principle not only builds stronger communities, it allows them to help even more people to develop skills, confidence and self respect.

People are happier and healthier, children are educated, wealth is created and communities are more harmonious.

Send a Cow doesn’t offer a quick fix solution to poverty and rural development. In for the long haul, they typically work with groups of farmers for five years to effect substantial and sustainable change. They also acknowledge from the outset that issues such as gender equality, health and family harmony are just as vital to the success of development programmes in Africa as simple livestock provision.

So in addition to ongoing training in animal wellbeing, sustainable organic farming practices and natural resource management, their work also provides courses in subjects such as gender equality, conflict resolution, health and hygiene and HIV/Aids awareness. This balance of practical farming skills with social, life skills is a potent mix and produces remarkable results.

People Against Poverty

They are an independent Christian charity working internationally with projects that we can personally engage with to help change lives by releasing communities from poverty.

Their aims are:

• Feed the hungry, provide shelter, clothe and educate the poor, take care of the sick and bring communities together to help break the cycle of poverty.

• To form communities in the UK to engage with People against Poverty.

• To be a gateway directly enabling our communities here in the UK, to engage with our International communities bringing them both life changing experiences.

They change lives by meeting basic needs; food, housing, education, shelter, giving people legitimacy and legal status. 

Their projects are designed to empower greater self-sufficiency, new hope and a more sustainable future – a handshake, not a hand out.

By channelling funds directly to their partners on the ground, they can make a real difference at a local level.
