Heifer International is pleased to rank in the top tier—Number 20—in the second edition of the Global Journal’s Top 100 NGOs. The editors cited Heifer’s Passing on the Gift® as an important component to “ensure project sustainability, develop community and enhance self-esteem by allowing project partners to become donors.”
“We are proud to be included in the Global Journal’s list and proud of the work we do with our families everyday,” said Pierre Ferrari, president and CEO of Heifer International. “We are working with our smallholder farmers, many of them women, to move from dependence to a life of economic entrepreneurship connecting them to markets and building their social capital.”

The Global Journal reports that Heifer International has a “highly participatory model” that works with communities and has a “substantive impact on household incomes, assets and family nutrition.”
With approximately 450 NGOs reviewed, the Global Journal focused on three areas: impact, innovation and sustainability. This year, editors chose the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) as their number one choice.

Awesome! Thank you to your Sunday School! Your chickens and ducks will spark real change and provide real hope to families who seek nothing more than the rest of us enjoy–a healthy, happy life where they can give their children a future to look forward to! A check is fine, and you can send it Heifer International, 1 World Avenue, Little Rock, Arkansas 72202. Thank you again!
I am happy to know Heifer International has been placed at Top 20 among 100 NGOs. Being an one of Heifer team members I am proud to hear this achievement and next year we will be one among the first 10 numbers. Heifer’s work really brings social-economic changes in the lives of poor. Passing on the Gifts is the key to success.
Bravo! We know what you do because we live in Little Rock. What you guys need is more videos showing others how to participate in permaculture and natural farming methods. Arkansas is virtually devoid of family farms and we all know why! Monsanto pays off the USDA & the FDA. Individually, you have cost me the price of a good college degree by making me do all of this ‘life saving’ technical research solely on my own…
