Send A Cow - The Pass IT On Principle

The Pass It On Principle

Sharing knowledge and skills is a unique aspect of Send a Cow’s work. Each farmer that receives training, seeds or livestock from the charity commits to ‘pass on’ the benefits to another needy family in the community strengthening communities and enables Send a Cow to benefit more people.

Communities attend Pass On ceremonies where next-generation animals, seedlings and skills are shared, giving poor people the opportunity to give to other people, lifting their self-esteem and transforming their community’s perception of them.

Research undertaken in Uganda by Bright World Consult showed that for every one farmer trained in sustainable organic farming, those practices are then adopted by an average of seven community members, when they see increased productivity on their neighbours' land.
