Heifer International continues a long streak of innovation by becoming the first development nonprofit to offer a full digital magazine—the World Ark you’ve always loved—available in a free download on iPad or Android tablets.
You’ve likely already received your print edition of the Holiday 2012 World Ark, but as of today, there’s more content and features to love on your iPad or Android tablet. The print issue will continue to be available to Heifer supporters with no interruption.
For this premiere tablet Holiday issue, extra features include:
- A welcome video by Heifer’s President and CEO Pierre Ferrari;
- Video of women in Bangladesh celebrating during a Pass on the Gift ceremony from photographer Geoff Oliver Bugbee as well as a video glimpse of how the Arkansas Chuggabugs traveled around the world to raise money for Heifer;
A spectacular digital catalog featuring favorite alternative gift items including the gifts of women’s empowerment, sending a girl to school and cookstoves to improve health and the environment;- Interactive infographics including how women build clay cookstoves in Malawi;
- An extra review of poverty- and hunger-related courses you can take for free on your tablet from iTunesU;
- The latest news from the field on an interactive world map;
- Slideshows featuring stunning photography.
The World Ark digital magazine will appear quarterly in spring, summer, fall and holiday. It was created with the help of digital design experts Bates Creative Group using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite platform.
The World Ark print edition got its name in 1994 with an issue celebrating Heifer’s 50th anniversary. The magazine’s predecessor, Sharing Life, started in the mid-1970s.
This is great ! I wish I could afford to help .
Great knowing others can .
I do think America’s kids and animals that are neglected
And starving would be my first if I were to win the half billion lotto
I also think we should teach our kids back the the basic of farming growing their owne
This is still a great thing all of you guys and gals are doin
Just wonderfull

World Ark looks great on my ipad. And because my ipad goes everywhere with me this makes it easier to share with everyone I know. I love being able to find out more about the writers and photographers just by tapping the bottom of the page. And the how to additions – what other magazine would teach you how to make a clay stove? If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Heifer in action this is the next best thing.
