Thank You For Empowering Mothers

By empowering families to lift themselves from poverty to self-reliance, we are ensuring happier lives for mothers and families alike. Thanks to our supporters for helping us empower mothers around the world!

“Through Heifer we have learned goat keeping and how to help the needy in our village. I have learned not just how to help myself but how to help others. Through spirituality I have learned to give freely, I can give and help without fear because that’s what God wants me to do. I’ve learned also how to build goat sheds and how to grow a garden. I only visit the market occasionally now because I grow my own vegetables now.”
