How Heifer Gifts Change Lives

Heifer International offers animal gifts that can transform entire communities. The gift of a flock of ducks, a llama or a water buffalo will lift up a rural family with products like eggs, milk, manure and draft power, enabling farmers to grow their family business and prosper. Additional income can be used for school, medicine or other household improvements. We know these gifts really work; since 1944, Heifer has carried out agricultural projects around the world that produce long-lasting change.
