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.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or context:
“That a majority of women do not wish for any important change in their social and civil condition, merely proves that they are the unreflecting slaves of custom.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“Parents are led to believe that they must be consistent, that is, always respond to the same issue the same way. Consistency is good up to a point but your child also needs to understand context and subtlety . . . much of adult life is governed by context: what is appropriate in one setting is not appropriate in another; the way something is said may be more important than what is said. . . .”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
