The Zaka district is now able to organize the marketing of goats, cattle and poultry on their own after working with Heifer Zimbabwe. Their business success has already benefited co-op group members and the surrounding communities..
Heifer project participants like the Kitamari family and "Mr. Camel" in Tanzania have taken the skills learned in Heifer's trainings and created successful enterprises for their families.

At Heifer Peru, we have strategically considered the inclusion of information and communication technologies, or ICTs, for the development of campesino communities. We believe that its use decreases the inequity gap in access to up-to-date information, which can generate the capacity that is needed to begin self-sustained social and economic development of people. Thus, we look to ICTs to help improve the quality of life of people in the most vulnerable sectors.
