The Cow Project
Sustainable Livelihoods, One Cow at a Time
Launched in 2013, the Cow Project is one of Bosnia Trust’s longest-running and most impactful initiatives. Through this programme, we provide bred cows to families across Bosnia-Herzegovina, offering a reliable source of
Self-employment and income
Nutritional support through fresh milk and cheese
Agricultural benefits from manure for farming
Each cow given is more than just an animal—it's a lifeline, helping families break the cycle of poverty with dignity and independence.
Project Growth Over the Years
Thanks to the continued generosity of our donors and support from the Office of the Grand Mufti of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the project has expanded significantly:
2013 – 2 cows
2014 – 7 cows
2015 – 12 cows
2016 – 16 cows
To date, we've supported 21 families—and counting.
Why This Matters
For many of the families we work with, especially widows and those in rural communities, a single cow can mean:
Daily nutrition for children
Income from selling surplus milk
Long-term stability through calf births and small-scale farming
Your support helps us continue this vital work and reach even more families in need.
