Help Rwandan families to thrive by fundraising for a cow this Harvest!
Your school can help families in Rwanda who are struggling to find enough food to eat. Parents are having to send their children to school with empty stomachs because they lack seeds, training and materials to grow food from their land. We can help them to grow bountiful harvests and, with your help, families could receive a dairy cow. Cow manure will help their gardens flourish and their children will grow strong from drinking protein-rich milk.
We’ve created a whole range of Harvest resources and learning activities for you to share with your students. Each resource includes learning outcomes and curriculum connections.
As a thank you for taking part, when you register for our resources, we’ll enter your name in our free prize draw to win a Starter Growing Kit for your school. See Terms & Conditions here.

Nadine’s family lives in one of the poorest regions in Rwanda.
Hundreds of children go hungry every day and suffer from stunted growth because they don’t have enough nutritious food to eat. Many of these children are barely surviving.
By holding a mufti day or enterprise challenge for Send a Cow this Harvest, your school could help to provide cows that will fertilise families’ gardens with their manure. With enriched soil, families like Nadine’s will be able to grow bountiful harvests from their land.
