OUR MISSION Heifer International’s mission is to work with communities to end world hunger and poverty and to care for the Earth. Heifer does more than just offer families a one-time gift. Heifer provides empowerment. Animals provide families with food and income, as byproducts can be traded or sold. Our ultimate goal is self-reliance. We provide the tools families need to run a successful business and to provide for their children. With more income, communities are able to build schools, fund small businesses and create agricultural cooperatives. FACTS - Almost 870 million people around the world do not have enough food. - Heifer has helped more than 20.7 million families conquer hunger. - Heifer believes in “passing on the gift” - giving the first female offspring of donated animals to other families in need. On average, “passing on the gift” can be traced for nine generations. - Animals have been sent to more than 30 countries to help create new lives for impoverished people. Our model is based on “passing on the gift.” Families share the training they receive and give their first female offspring to another family, passing along hope and opportunity. This holiday season, consider giving an animal and empowering a community. Information from www.heifer.org.
