HEIFER PROJECT INTERNATIONAL

MISSION

To end hunger and poverty and to care for the Earth using gifts of livestock, seeds, trees and training in sustainable agriculture community development projects to help millions of people become self-reliant.

WHERE YOUR SUPPORT GOES

Contributions allow Heifer to work with various communities to develop farms, businesses and education required for those in need to rise from chronic poverty.

THE RESULTS

Since 1944, Heifer has helped transform the lives of more than 18.5 million families (94.5 million people) by giving them gifts of cows, goats and other livestock. Along with the animals, families receive training in animal care and conservation for environmentally sound agricultural development.

WE ARE INSPIRED BY STORIES

Mary Bone, an Arkansas farmer and Heifer International project participant, shares why she farms and how Heifer has helped her achieve her goals. A major component of Heifer's work in the USA is connecting local farmers like Mary through a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), a business model that allows farmers to sell directly to consumers.
