About Heifer
The mission of Heifer International is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.
Since 1944, Heifer has helped more than 7 million families in more than 125 countries move toward greater self-reliance through the gift of livestock and training in environmentally sound agriculture. The impact of each initial gift is multiplied as recipients agree to pass on the gift by giving one or more of their animals offspring, or the equivalent, to another in need.
