Help from Heifer: The Story of Tang Fuming

60-year-old Tang Fuming's family is entrenched in poverty, but her optimism and willingness to do all she can is sure to help lift her family up. Through a Heifer China project, she has built a chicken coop, is raising chickens, and is putting her training to good use not only with her own activities, but with fellow villagers as part of the mutual aid team.

Dairy Cow Cooperative: Cooperation For Benefits

Started in early 2004, the Heifer International project in Vietnam's Long Tuyen Commune supported 10 original farmers with two dairy cows each. Over the first three years, the project enabled participating farmers to sustain their livelihood by raising dairy cows and establishing a revolving fund. There are now 220 dairy cows, 10 original members and 10 members who received cows through Passing on the Gift®. The project has helped the farmers make a sustainable livelihood and they have become self-reliant.

Good Partners Should be Treasured and Cherished

Starting from the very beginning of its activities in Armenia, Heifer has been actively cooperating with the local non-governmental organizations and farmers’ associations. One of the most successful partnerships between Heifer and local NGOs can surely be considered the partnership with the Lukashin Farmers’ Association. This dates back to 2008, when, in the framework of Heifer projects and with assistance of the association, 26 families in the village received 26 pregnant cows.
