Heifer International is an organization working to end hunger and poverty around the world by providing livestock and training to struggling communities. The goal of every Heifer project is to help farm families achieve self-reliance by providing training and livestock needed to build integrated farms. This means planting food for the family and fodder for the farm animals; keeping a sustainable operation by using the resources such as animal fertilizer and biogas stoves; and caring for the Earth by improving the soil and environment.These gifts and skills help lift a family out of a life of hunger and poverty. With the training provided by Heifer International, families who previously did not have enough to eat will have a steady supply of food, and even be able to sell the surpluses. And with that income, they will finally be able to send their children to school, afford medicine and have a chance at a more secure future.
