Heifer Means Security for Eliso's Family

Eliso Sulaberidze was born in Chiauri, a village in Georgia’s eastern region of Kakheti. Growing up, her family had a small farm and Eliso helped her parents take care of the animals. “Kakheti is known for its vineyards, but in our village summers are too hot for growing grapes,” said Eliso. “That’s why animal husbandry is a much better option.” Eliso’s husband was from the Imereti region in western Georgia. When they married, the couple made a home in his village. They had a happy home, but an earthquake left them and many others homeless.
