Crowdfunding | We need your support | 32 cows for Bhumesthan

Now that the reconstruction of the houses is complete, at least in financial terms, we would like to support the families for the future by sustainably improving their livelihoods.

To achieve this, we would like to give each of the 32 families a young, healthy cow.

On the one hand, milk offers you the opportunity to produce products that you can sell in the surrounding villages; on the other hand, it would also be healthy for the many children in the village to be able to consume more dairy products.

So we researched how much a cow would cost. To keep the price reasonable, we would buy very young cows that won't be able to breed for another one or two years.

This idea was developed in consultation with the village committee, which also handled the local administration during the reconstruction.

To keep the price reasonable, we would buy very young cows that won't be able to give birth for another one to two years. This would mean we would have to budget approximately $170 per family for a cow, including transport to Bhumesthan, which is about.. 5500 CHF for 32 cows corresponds.
