Over the past five years Mercy Corps Mongolia has established a strong reputation across the vast Gobi region, and continues to work with business associations and local organizations to ensure a robust economy that preserves ancient traditions.
Currently they run the following projects in Mongolia: Gobi Regional Economic
Growth Initiatives (Gobi Initiative), Gobi Forage, Rural Agribusiness Support Program (RASP) and the Training, Advocacy and Networking Programme.

Send a Cow
|
|
|
Send a Cow provides families with a cross-bred cow whose milk yield is very high - up to 14 litres a day. Livestock provided by Send a Cow provide a lasting
solution for desperately poor farmers in Africa, enabling them to combat malnutrition with protein-rich milk and earn an income from the sale of the surplus milk. Many families invest some of this money in other moneyearning ventures, but most use it to keep their children in school. Very poor people, with little land and few resources who find it difficult to manage dairy cows, receive smaller stock, such as goats, pigs or poultry. They can then begin to rear livestock
even though they cannot provide the full shelter or fodder needed for a cow. Training is provided beforehand in animal rearing and sustainable organic farming, and lowcost veterinary services are provided afterwards.
The initial gifts go on multiplying indefinitely, as each person who receives livestock passes on the animal's first female offspring to another poor farmer, who will do the same in turn. Send a Cow are now working in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Lesotho.

We are aiming to raise much more than £1,500 and donations above this level will also be made to other charities. Among those we hope to support are Cancer Research, MS Society, Dr Barnados and RSPCA.
