Heifer Project... Building a new world

Heifer International is a non-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to ending world hunger and caring for the earth by providing livestock, trees, training and other resources to help struggling families around the globe.

Animals from Heifer provide milk, eggs, wool, draft power and other benefits that can mean improved nutrition, higher income, education for children, health care and improved housing- literally, a new way of life.

Since 1944, Heifer has helped 7 million families in more than 125 countries improve their quality of life and become more self-reliant.  heifer requires recipients to "pass on the gift" by sharing training, skills, and offspring of their livestock with others in need.  "Passing on the gift" multiplies the benefits of every donated animal, and makes recipients equal partners with Heifer in the fight against poverty and hunger.  It is a commonsense approach to sustainable development that works - one family at a time.
