  • the work of send a cow

    Hello everybody, I'm Jess from Send a Cow and wanted to take the chance to introduce myself here on this wonderful forum. Send A Cow is a charity based in Bath, United Kingdom and we run sustainable agricultural programmes in nine countries in Africa to help small-scale farmers overcome poverty and malnutrition. We were founded in 1988 by a group of UK farmers who sent cows to families in post-conflict Uganda. The idea is that by developing strong community groups through education, and sustainable agricultural systems. If you want to find out more and see how you can help change a families future through ethical and sustainable farming get in touch! I look forward to chatting with you all. Thank you very much for having me here! :-)

      thanks for the warm welcomes guys :-)! Yes we do send cows but they are bought in Africa and the focus is more on sustainable farming and teaching methods that can be passed on throughout communities. We recently just heard of a great case study where a family received a heifer from Send a Cow, along with extensive training in how to care for the animal, how to work effectively with their community group, and how to use the manure from their animal to grow napier grass, crops and vegetables. Since then, they have gained another cow and have milk to drink and sell, they’ve started growing crops and fruit to sell at market, and the family have a nutritional, well-balanced diet.Not only did they give their cow’s first female calf to another family in need, in accordance with the Send a Cow code, but they’ve also helped many other farmers to increase their crop yield using susatinable organic farming techniques.

                    I am glad to hear that Don't worry i also believe one and only God, Jesus and the Bible but not Matta, Marcus, Luka, Yuhanna. I believe the original that Jesus brought.
                    I took a brake already for few days but i can't stop myself to do few changes everyday
                    A charity send me some papers. They make surgeries for blind kids. A surgery costs 1500 usd. Its sad to hear that a kid can't see because they don't have such amount of money

                      Thank you for advice my friend
                      Its nice that we pass this belief issue. I was worried about this. I do not drink alcohol and eat pork either and i also dont pray to images and statues. I do not even dare to picture Him.
                      God bless you my friend. I will be careful
