A
little insight of how just one cow from the cow
project is so valuable to the Rwandan widows.
To
provide one Friesan Cow would mean 18litres of milk
compared to 3litres of a Rwandan cow. Manure would
fertilise crops enabling a good harvest. The family
would be able to use 5litres for themselves and sell
the rest £2.50 a day, £60 monthly, this would provide
income for the children to receive an education. An
education would be a means to work which would
provide an income for the family. Morag who is very
much involved in the Cow Project has raised £1411.30
for the widows, which has been a great work provided
to see the widows lives changed from poverty to
prosperity.
