Cow

$300

Your gift provides families with a source of manure (great for veggie gardens) and income, and a ready supply of nutritious milk. Plus, the agricultural training families receive means this gift is not only sustainable, it can even be turned into a small business.

For rural families, owning a cow is an incredible asset. Cows can produce between 25 and 30 litres of milk each day. This milk helps address malnutrition and improve children’s physical health. Families also receive training on animal husbandry and dairy production so they can care for their animal and enjoy a regular supply of fresh milk to drink and sell.

By gifting a cow:

Families will have fresh milk to drink and sell, manure for a healthy vegetable garden, and eventually calves to sell.
Agriculture training is provided so this gift could become a small business, helping a family to become self-sufficient.

FAQs

Can I send my sponsored child a Gift of Compassion?
No. Gifts of Compassion are different to the gifts you can send your sponsored child. Funds from the purchase of Gifts of Compassion are pooled to support a range of Critical Needs that benefit many children and families and can't be directed to an individual child.

However, you can choose to send a gift specifically for your sponsored child by giving a child gift, family gift and/or birthday gift. One hundred per cent of these gifts will directly benefit your sponsored child and their family.

Do the Gifts of Compassion gifts really cost what I am paying for them?

The gifts featured in the Gifts of Compassion represent initiatives Compassion carries out to address the needs of children that require support beyond sponsorship. As each country and community in the developing world has its own unique challenges to address, what these initiatives look like and how much they cost can vary. This means your donation will be pooled with others to fund an initiative.

What is a Gift of Compassion?
Gifts of Compassion are real goods and services given to children and families in Compassion child development centres around the world when you purchase an item from the Gifts of Compassion catalogue. For every Gift of Compassion you order, you will receive a gift card to personalise for your friends and loved ones.

Funds raised from the Gifts of Compassion catalogue are used to support Compassion's Critical Needs, which remove obstacles to children's development and implement preventative action. These interventions include providing safe water, disaster relief, emergency medical care, vocational training, infrastructure, and much more: all issues that need to be addressed for a child to be released from poverty.

Compassion Australia uses Gifts of Compassion funds to meet the project needs represented in the catalogue.
