What an encouragement! We didn’t know that cows can contribute to education of the needy. Our buy a cow project is a unique project which was introduced to help in payment of the high school fees. It is unfortunate that our high schools are very expensive and the students cannot stay in school if they have not paid up their fees. This is so intimidating to the needy and it interferes with their personality at school.
It is very sad for a student at a tender age to know that his/her situation is making her stay out of school. The cow program has helped us manage to pay school fees for our students by selling the milk and the calves. The families taking care of the cows also benefit from the milk which helps with the health of the children. We have more than 100 students who have completed high school and are now in different universities and colleges. The first group of students are now doing their second in universities and those who joined tertiary colleges will be graduating this year. The fruits of Your sacrifices and commitments are being realized. We can’t imagine how much you have done in the lives of these children and our community, words cannot express.
The cow project is also changing the lives of the beneficiaries, they have some work to do, that is to take care of the cows. They are also contributing to the education of their children. We have given out 21 cows and we still have more than 100 families whom we are hoping to give the cows. We are encouraging you to keep on sharing the word, this program is helping with the empowerment of the families and at the same time helping with the high school fees for the children.
The more we share out the more we reach out to more orphans and poor children. Having done all these we will achieve the goal of changing the world and make it a better place. Together we can.
