Cows 'n' Things
The latest gift idea from us, Help The Aged:
Cows 'n' Things is an online gift shop produced by Help the Aged, an international charity fighting to free disadvantaged older people from poverty, isolation and neglect.
100 million older people in developing countries survive on less than fifty pence a day making them among the world's most vulnerable citizens. When disasters strike they are usually at the bottom of priority lists and international aid organisations do not always know how best to meet their needs.
Yet it is older people who make a positive and invaluable contribution to keeping families together when communities are depleted by war, HIV/AIDS, famine or drought.
The international work of Help the Aged is unique. We are committed to providing help and support for older people wherever it is needed. Cows 'n' Things sells 'virtual' gifts that raise money to fund these development projects.
Every time you buy a gift from Cows 'n' Things not only do you make a friend or family member happy, but you also make a real contribution to improving the lives of disadvantaged older people around the world.

The main difference is HTA focuses on older people
