Send a Cow – Ethical Charity Gifts for Christmas

Leave the first response December 14, 2009 / Posted in Shopping

Looking for something different to send as a Christmas present? Why not try giving someone ethical charity gift this year from Send a Cow. They are a UK organisation that help some of the poorest families in Africa by providing training in sustainable farming and resources such as livestock, seeds and trees.

All families helped by them pass on an offspring of their animal to another family, so more and more families are getting milk to drink, crops to eat, and money to pay for schooling. For every family that receives direct help another 9 go on to benefit. Today, there are 6,000 families on Send a Cow Gift’s waiting list.

This is a short video from Uganda showing how to make a bag garden. Hope’s mum was helped by Send a Cow training programme and now she uses cow manure in her bag gardens to grow her own food to sell, providing her with an income that she didn’t have before.

Gifts start from as little as £5 for children’s breakfasts, all the way up to £2,000 which will provide a whole farm! Each gift comes with a wallet containing a window sticker and an information card about the gift you’ve chosen. You can choose to send an e-card instead – perfect for that last minute present for Uncle Albert!

The gifts proceeds, less the cost of producing the catalogue, are spent on the Send a Cow livestock and training programmes in Africa.

Play the Send a Cow Kersplat’s Splat Attack game inspired by their magic muck training in Africa which saves lives!
