About Dairy Cow Donations: A Lasting Livelihood for Afghanistan
A dairy cow donation gives a family not one-off help but a livelihood that lasts for years.
A cow you donate for Afghanistan feeds the family's children and provides a regular income from its surplus milk.
What does a dairy cow donation give a family?
Standing on their own feet instead of depending on aid is every family's greatest wish.
- Daily milk meets the children's need for protein and calcium.
- Selling surplus milk and dairy products provides a regular income.
- Over time, the cow's calves increase the family's assets.
The animals handed over undergo a health check, and families receive guidance on their care.
Dairy cow donation prices by region
| Region | Dairy cow (per animal) |
|---|---|
| Africa | 700 € |
| Afghanistan | 1.100 € |
The price differences result from local livestock prices and procurement conditions.
Example: By setting aside 60 € each month, a family in Austria can donate a dairy cow to a family in Africa in about a year (12 × 60 € = 720 €).
