Heifer International

Website Link: Heifer International

Heifer International provides livestock and training so that families can improve nutrition and earn income for health care, shelter and education for children. Each gift multiplies because every family that receives a Heifer animal promises to “pass on the gift” by giving one or more of their animal’s offspring and knowledge to another family in need. Where hunger ends, peace can begin.

Peace can only take root where trust, community and friendship are allowed to foster. It may seem hard to believe that peace could really take root one cow at a time. Yet Heifer International has seen time and again that people with something to live for, have nothing they want to die for.
 
Where people are hungry, Heifer gives them the ability to feed themselves through gifts of animals and agricultural training. Where people are poor, Heifer teaches them new ways to increase the yields on their farms. Within weeks or months of receiving animals, they are taking abundant milk, or eggs, or wool to the market to gain the income they need.

Where hunger ends, peace can begin. It’s a simple idea but it’s powerful and true. Your gift can help bring people together and give them hope. Your gift helps sow the seeds of peace.
