On a cold evening of November 20, 2017, after a long and tiring journey, 68 pregnant Irish heifers arrived in Romania, sent by some farmers with a warm heart and eager to show kindness and generosity towards some needy families in Transylvania.

This gift would not have been possible without the support of our partners at the Bóthar organization, who collected these cows and sent them in the best conditions.

A few days before Christmas, after a 3-week quarantine period, the heifers will be ready to be welcomed into their new homes. Their beneficiaries are poor families in Transylvanian villages, who are struggling to put food on their families' tables, part of the "Dairy Cows for the Poor in Transylvania" project, a project funded by Bóthar Ireland, heifer international and DOW Agrosciences from the USA.
