Bóthar CLG

Since 1991, Bóthar, a charity with a strong Irish identity, has specialised in the provision of livestock (primarily dairy cows and goats) and training to families in developing countries. Bóthar’s identity is based on strong relationships with farmers, schools and communities in rural and urban Ireland and overseas. Bóthar programmes have enabled women, men, children and communities worldwide to overcome hunger and poverty and to restore the environment in a sustainable way.

Animals are provided from donors in Ireland or financed by financial institutions and fundraising activities.  The core purpose of Bóthar’s efforts is to improve the lives of entire families in the developing world. The experience of Bóthar is that livestock rearing can be both a sustainable mechanism to address poverty and an environmentally beneficial model.
