Karibu!
Cows for Kids is a livestock program for the children of Northern Kenya sponsored by The Boma Fund, Inc. and founded by Joseph Lekuton, the award-winning author of "Facing the Lion : Growing Up Maasai on the African Savanna".
Cows for Kids provides young, female livestock as a form of economic security for nomadic families. The female calves will eventually produce milk and offspring. The future sale of full-grown cattle will help pay for school fees and the healthcare needs of a family. For just $125 a calf or even $50 for a goat, your gift can help a nomadic family recover from the recent devastating drought. We celebrate and share with these families their goal of self-reliance.
Cows for Kids was initially started at the Langley School in McLean, VA and now receives the support from children, families and schools throughout the United States. The Cows for Kids program will help young children in Northern Kenya be part of the Cows for Kids restocking program following the drought that has affected all of Northern Kenya.
Children and schools have organized a range of creative fundraisers that will purchase a young cow, goat or camel for a young nomadic child of Northern Kenya. Your gift can make the difference in the quality of young child's life. Contact the Cows for Kids office today to find out ways that your school can raise funds to buy a cow for a kid.
