Social Context
Send a Cow believes in food security but its work is centred also on the wider aims of happier families, greater community spirit, greater gender equity, better health, housing and education, more spiritual fulfilment and greater dignity.
The charity aims to help people address lack of education, low self-confidence, isolation and prejudice by providing agricultural assistance, and the support and skills needed to make use of it.
Send a Cow's work in Africa is based on groups and the strong community spirit that characterises African society. Country staff are African and work closely with groups to decide how the charity can best assist the groups to operate more fairly and effectively.
