About Send A Cow
Send A Cow is a UK based Christian organisation giving direct, practical help to poor families in Africa, by providing livestock, together with training in animal care and sustainable organic farming, and low-cost veterinary services.
About Our Programme in Ghana
Send a Cow began work in Ghana, in western Africa, in 2005. The projects we help are in the Brong Ahafo region in the central part of the country, where the terrain is savannah-forest.
The agricultural land has been overfarmed, and the area has suffered deforestation. One of the causes of deforestation is that local villagers use "slash and burn" techniques: setting fire to the bush in order to clear more land for cultivation, and to harvest wild honey.
