Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes (LOWB) is a humanitary non-profit organization. Our Mission is to provide poor families a water buffalo in countries where it is espesially needed.
A water buffalo can lead a poor familiy out of poverty and give them a chance for a brighter future filled with hope and free from hunger. The animal provides draft power for planting rice and potatoes, milk for protein and manure for fertilizer and fuel.
A family can plant four time more rice with a water buffalo than by hand.
The buffalo can haul heavy loads to market, where the sale of extra produce brings needed income for clothing, medicine and school.
A water buffalo provides so many benefits and, in turn, it is happy just to graze on coarse grasses and other plants not suitable for harvesting.
