A Christmas Gift from Bóthar to Rwanda! 🇷🇼🎄

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Bóthar will again partner with Ripple Effect in 2026, providing local livestock to farming women in Rwanda, along with training sessions on animal husbandry and on sustainable agriculture 👩‍🌾🐮🌱

It's been over a week now since the 58 heifers donated from people across Ireland were distributed to their new families in Kosovo's Suhareka region, where they will make an incredible difference to their livelihoods 💚🇽🇰

We cannot thank our donors and supporters enough, including groups of donors from Moate, the North-East, Roscommon, Dualla, and the southeast who all directly contributed cattle. These living gifts will have a legacy for years to come 🐄🌱

Yesterday was distribution day in Kosovo! 🎉 After spending 2 weeks in quarantine, 58 Irish heifers were distributed to families across the Suharekë area 🇽🇰 🇮🇪

These living gifts are life-changing for recipients, providing a means of income generation, additional experience in animal husbandry, and high-quality dairy produce 🧑‍🌾🐮🥛🧀

Thank you to all of our supporters, and our in-country partners Meshqerra for making this possible!🙌🥳
