Heifer Study Tours: Travel with a Purpose
.JPG) Our tours are small, specialized expeditions through spectacular geography and unique ecosystems to visit remote villages and isolated peoples. But a Heifer Study Tour goes beyond sightseeing. It is a journey into the daily lives of extraordinary people. As you visit with the farmers and families who are working with Heifer to improve their lives and protect the earth, you learn more than you could have imagined.
A Study Tour takes you beyond your ideas about poverty, and shows you what the human spirit is capable of overcoming.
