About Heifer International

Heifer International works with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth. With gifts of livestock and training, Heifer projects help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. We refer to the animals as "living loans," because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of their animal's offspring to another family in need. It's called Passing on the Gift–a cornerstone of our mission that creates a lasting and sustainable impact.
