Today, millions of people who were once hungry
will be nourished by milk, eggs and fresh
vegetables.
Families who for generations knew only poverty
will be building new homes and starting
businesses.
Children who once headed out to the fields to do
backbreaking work will be heading into
schoolrooms to learn to read.
And people who never thought they’d be in a
position to help someone else will be experiencing
the joy of charitable giving.
How is this possible?
With Heifer’s proven approach – almost 60 years
in the making – to helping people obtain a
sustainable source of food and income.
