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. Heifer was founded on the simple belief that ending hunger begins with giving people the means to feed themselves, generate income and achieve sustainable livelihoods. 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.

Our transformational model runs much deeper than providing livestock and agricultural inputs.
