Help Dairygold Help Needy Families
Dairygold have pledged to help Bóthar to help struggling families in the developing world. This Christmas, when you purchase a promotional 1lb tub in store of Dairygold Original, Dairygold Light+, Dairygold Heart or Dairygold Omega, Dairygold will send a donation to Bothar.
You can also show your support on this page today - For every 250 individual pledges we receive, Dairygold will send 1 Irish dairy cow to a needy family. We hope to send the target of 25 dairy cows next spring. Please pledge your support NOW!
To pledge your support, please enter your name and email address in the box to the right.
Why not encourage all members of your family to do so too.
the gift of a dairy cow
Children in western society often take dairy products for granted, but in poorer countries many children are prone to illness due to an insufficient supply of these protein-rich foods, so necessary for their development. Bóthar has been working to change this. Bóthar has been transporting in-calf Irish dairy heifers to developing countries since 1991.
Our pure-bred Holstein Friesians are now present in Cameroon, Rwanda, Uganda, Lebanon, Malawi, Albania and Kosovo. Did you know that a good quality Irish dairy cow is, on average, 20 times more productive than a local cow in our African project countries? That’s 20 times as much milk as a native animal produces every day.
Money earned from the sale of surplus milk allows parents to feed, clothe and most importantly, to educate their children. The difference that one Irish cow can make in the life of a struggling family is truly amazing.
A family receiving their animal is the very last step in the Bóthar process. The family must first do a training course on how to care for their animal as well as preparing the proper housing facilities and growing the correct fodder grass.
