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.

Famous quotes containing the words the pass, pass and/or principle:
“Anton Petrovich turned into the passage, followed the arrow to men, mankind, human beings, marched past the toilet, past the kitchen, gave a start when a cat darted under his feet, quickened his step, reached the end of the passage, pushed open a door, and a shower of sunlight splashed his face.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Nothing comes to pass in nature, which can be set down to a flaw therein; for nature is always the same and everywhere one and the same in her efficiency and power of action; that is, nature’s laws and ordinances whereby all things come to pass and change from one form to another, are everywhere and always; so that there should be one and the same method of understanding the nature of all things whatsoever, namely, through nature’s universal laws and rules.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“The world is not dialectical—it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
