Raising money for Send a Cow

Charity Registration No. 299717

Send a Cow helps African farmers grow enough food to feed their families, sell their produce and develop small businesses that last. We do this by providing training, livestock, seeds and ongoing support; and by helping families make the most of the land and resources they already have. As a result, families are happier and healthier, children are educated, homes are improved. In turn, these families then pass on young livestock, seeds or training to others. And so on. And so on. This ‘pass on’ principle not only builds stronger communities, it allows us to help even more people to develop skills, confidence and self respect. The ‘can do will do’ attitude of Send a Cow is born out of our faming roots and our Christian faith. Working hand in hand with African farmers for over 20 years, we prove that farming in Africa works.

Hello everyone This year my friend Sue and I are walking for cows! We had already selected this charity but I must say that haivng spent a little time in Africa recently, I am really glad we did..... Send a Cow give a cow (sometimes a whole farmyard) to a community in Africa and train them how to use the animal. A cow will support a family in many ways giving them not only food but also fertiliser which helps them to grow crops. This gives them better health and nutrition and a means of making a living. It particularly supports women giving them a means of generating income, independence and a role in the community. It supports their children by giving them better nutrition and money for education. Animals and knowledge are passed on to other families in the community. Despite what it says at the bottom of this we have a specific target for our donations which is a community in Uganda. We are walking 15 miles one day over the next Bank Holiday weekend (depends on weather - surely you don't expect us to get wet). Our target this year is £2,000 between us. This will provide a whole farmyard! Please support us through the JustGiving website or, if you do not want to do that, you can give your donation to me. Thank you very much. And love from Fiona
