Since its inception, Cows for Cambodia have dedicated themselves to ending rural poverty in some of the world’s poorest communities, using a ‘cow bank’ to establish a better future for those in need. Neutrog have proudly supported this charity for some time, providing fertilisers to encourage strong growth in their pasture fields, and were lucky to feature their incredible efforts in our February 2024 newsletter.

Each year the charity’s founder, Cosi Costello hosts tours offering regular Australians an opportunity to explore Cambodia and lend a helping hand with the work being done at the charity. Guests are completely immersed in the village culture as they assist with rice runs, building projects, and work closely with the charity’s village farm and school.

Neutrog have supported Cows for Cambodia for some time now, and we were thrilled to receive these photos from a recent volunteer tour late in 2023 showing a glimpse of how these South Australian based fertilisers are making a positive impact overseas.

The eager volunteers worked together to spread Bounce Back and Rapid Raiser the ‘old fashioned’ way – by hand – over the cattle fields, encouraging a nutritious base for pasture to thrive and produce plenty for the cows to graze on.

A cow in Cambodia costs families around $1,000 which is almost impossible for most to achieve. Cows for Cambodia’s ‘cow bank’ designed to loan a pregnant cow to families in need to care for. Once the calf is born, the family get to keep the calf and the cow returns to the farm.
