About Dairy Cow Donations: A Lasting Livelihood for Africa
A dairy cow donation gives a family not one-off help but a livelihood that lasts for years.
A cow you donate for Africa 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 €).

Which families receive a dairy cow?
Priority goes to families in need in rural areas who are able to care for an animal but cannot afford to buy one themselves.
In this way, the donation becomes an asset in the family's hands that keeps producing for years.

Lasting good: Sadaqah Jariyah
Donations that bring benefit for many years can qualify as Sadaqah Jariyah.
We explain this concept in our article What are Sadaqah and Sadaqah Jariyah?
If you would like to start with a smaller amount, the dairy goat donation for Africa (100 €) is a great option.
All animal donations are in the livestock donation category; for lasting good works such as a water well, also take a look at our Lasting Works projects.
