Would You Be Interested In Supporting Ronnie Yimsut’s Cow Bank Project In Rural Cambodia?
A Senseless Act of Beauty
You can make an EPIC difference and positively impact poor-rural Cambodian families by supporting this worthy project as a sponsor. You can feel very proud of the self-sustainability you will help provide to rural Cambodian farmers and their communities.
Deliverance From Poverty
Your sponsorship will prevent a poor-rural family from being forced to sell the family farm or, even worse yet, their only daughter to the flesh trade and into “sex tourism”. Your generous support means the protection of young innocent children from sex trades, economic sustainability and an opportunity for your sponsored family to rise above poverty.
A gift that keeps on giving
A cherished contribution of $300 will provide a breeding cow to an underprivileged family. This gracious support will help improve the family’s economic condition tremendously and continue to give year after year. With each and every calf that is born, the farm will gain a value “equal to this poor family’s annual income!”
Become a SPONSOR!
You can participate as sponsor, through a generous tax-deductible donation of $300 for a single breeding cow (or two breeding cows for $600). Please remember that 100% of your tax-deductible contribution will go directly toward this Cow Bank project and your sponsored family. You will receive a signed legal binding contract, complete with thumbprints and pictures of the poor, yet deserving, family you are sponsoring, as well as annual updates and progress reports.
Leave a lasting Contribution For Generations to Come!
Yes, you too, can improve our planet in your own special way and feel proud at the same time. If we don’t do it, who will? Make your cherished tax-deductible donation or contact us for more information!

Gifts That Keeps On Giving
Ronnie Yimsut’s Cow Bank Project is a form of a “senseless act of beauty” that you can feel good about taking part in. It is also known as a “trickle up” program—rather than the usual “trickle down” process.
How does it work?
The concept has been proven effective and is also very simple to implement.
First, a breeding cow is “shared” with a poor and worthy family (rural farmer), who meets all established project criteria. The family is expected to raise the cow until it produces a calf. This first calf belongs to a family who is no longer underprivileged because one cow equals one year’s income. The second calf belongs to the Cow Bank project--to go to and support another worthy family. Finally, the third calf produced once again belongs to the original sponsored family.
In short, the family receives two cows in return, while the Cow Bank project is expected to get the original cow back, plus another calf to go toward the next poor and worthy family. This “share cow” concept (a contract) can last anywhere between a 3 and 5 year period.
That is it! That is the “composition” of the Cow Bank Project. It is that simple!
So what is the project “established” criteria?
This part is a little bit more complicated. Basically, a family (rural farmer) is pre-screened to meet all project criteria before being accepted into the Cow Bank project. Criteria includes:
- Priority is given to a widow with children, especially a woman or head of household, currently without the means of supporting the family.
- Must be capable and willing to facilitate change in their current economic situation, most importantly a family must be willing to help themselves improve one’s own economic self sustainability.
- Past experience with farm work and animal husbandry is a big benefit as it is essential to know what needs to be accomplished for lasting success.
- A community leader who is respected, trust worthy, and willing to lend support to the family will serve as a witness to the contract.
