Background
Heifer international is a global nonprofit working to end hunger, poverty and care for the Earth by using sustainable practices and engaging smallholder farmers in agricultural development.

Since Heifer’s founding in 1944, 20.7 million families -more than 70 million people - in more than 125 countries have benefited from community-based training, appropriate technology and agricultural resources, enabling them to lift themselves out of poverty and hunger on to a path of self-reliance and economic prosperity.
