Life-Changing Calf

£60.00

This Life-Changing Calf charity gift supports families in rural Africa with nutritious milk and manure for fertiliser.

Families who receive a cow from Ripple Effect promise to pass on the first-born female calf to another local family. 

In time, this cow will produce nutritious milk for the families’ children, along with a supply of manure which acts as an excellent fertiliser to help crops grow and thrive. Surplus milk and crops can also be sold for vital income so the family can afford household essentials and to keep their children in school.

Why your gift has lasting impact

A Ripple Effect gift isn't a handout; it’s an opportunity.  Your gift helps us reach some of the poorest families in rural Africa, enabling them to grow nutritious food, earn a living, and build secure futures. 

We focus on long-term impact rather than short-term gains, and on support that's practical and relevant.

Our locally-based teams train families to:

  • Farm sustainably and protect their land.
  • Include everyone in the household and share tasks fairly.
  • Develop their small businesses and financial independence.

Farming families are so committed to change that they share what they learn and grow with others. This creates a ripple effect that transforms communities far beyond our programmes. 

 

About your gift:

  • How we use your gift: wherever the need is greatest across the countries we work in, making a huge difference to the lives of families in rural Africa.
  • Gift cards and other items: sent via Royal Mail 2nd Class post within five working days of receiving your order.
  • E-gift cards: sent directly to the recipient on the date you choose.
"Ripple Effect trained us how to manage our livestock and how to produce forage which you can see in my backyard. We learned to look after our cow well and we now get enough milk for our family."
