Oxfam IrelandGift of a Cow

Cows are moo-vellous! They provide a small scale farmer with manure, milk, transportation and the ability to cultivate a herd. The money from selling milk is an important supplement to a poor family’s income. An added benefit is that families are able to use the cow dung as organic fertilizer for their vegetable gardens, (in conjunction with irrigation techniques, organic fertilizer can dramatically increase crop yields), and in some cases they can even sell it.
