Escaping the Poverty Trap

In extreme poverty, families often lack the means to improve their circumstances or save for the future. Become More offers a pathway to prosperity through our transformative Fat Cow Program. This initiative equips participants with modern ranching techniques, business skills, and the capital startup required to establish a sustainable ranch.

Our Become More animal husbandry program provides the education, training, and support needed in order to produce healthy cows. These cows provide a sustainable solution to ending extreme poverty – enabling families to dramatically improve their capacity to earn, save, and experience economic development.

Our commitment goes beyond providing cows to households. We construct household ranches, install water wells, administer effective vaccinations, supply nutritious feed, and provide comprehensive animal husbandry education. With this comprehensive support, participants experience shorter gestational periods, lower breeding ages, reduced mortality rates, and remarkable weight gain in their animals. This integrated approach significantly increases the number of calves produced, creating a promising pathway out of poverty. As families break free from poverty, they set into motion a perpetual process whereby other families are able to make the climb out of extreme poverty. Join the Become More movement by helping to set this process in motion.
