We’ve had the privilege of calling Ripple Effect our charity partner for several years, from when they were called Send a Cow (their website tells you this story, since it really is how the charity started 30+ years ago).
Initially we donated sheep for every corporate client programme booked, through the charity’s gifting service, to impoverished farming communities in Africa.
After our necessary closure during Covid, we switched to donating training to African families in rainwater harvesting.
At the time this was due to the heightened emphasis on hygiene.
We’ve continued to do so, since climate change is prompting longer periods of heat and drought, making water an even more precious commodity.
To date, thanks to our lovely clients, we have supported 137 rural African families – edging closer to our target of 150 by the end of February 2026.
We wholly endorse all of Ripple Effect’s amazing work does, its ethos of empowering rather than simply giving, and the resulting impact on thousands of rural Africans.
So when a company invests in a Raising the Baa awayday, it’s way more than the participating team that benefits from their time on the farm.
Read more about Ripple Effect’s corporate partnership strategy in this excellent new article, co-written by our own Partnership Manager Chloe. It will be of particular interest should your CSR focus on any of the following areas:
Sustainable agriculture | Gender and social inclusion | Enterprise development and financial inclusion
