Why Send a Cow ?
The gift of just one cow can make an enormous difference to a desperately poor East African family, enabling them to combat malnutrition with protein-rich milk and earn an income from the sale of the surplus milk. Manure from cows and other livestock can also double and even treble crop yields – making a real difference to families dependent on tiny plots of exhausted soil for their living. Families can invest their increased income in a better future: sending their children to school, or starting new enterprises, such as poultry breeding. Most of our livestock goes to women, because they are usually the poorest people in their communities and because this is the best way to ensure that help reaches the whole family. Our initial gifts go on multiplying indefinitely, as each woman who receives livestock promises to hand on her animal's first female offspring to another poor woman farmer, who will do the same in her turn. We also work particularly with disabled people, child-headed orphan families and families bringing up young orphaned relatives.

It's not just cows
Under the StockAid programme, they receive smaller stock, such as goats, pigs or poultry. They are thus able to begin rearing livestock even though they cannot provide the shelter or fodder needed for a cow. This is particularly helpful to families suffering the impact of drought, AIDS and conflict.
