Heifer Study Tours: Travel to a Better World

On this tour, you’ll see big changes…and the biggest may be the one you see in yourself.

Heifer Study Tours are 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, you will learn more than you could have imagined.

Heifer is currently offering Study Tours to the following regions in which Heifer works the Americas (Latin America and North America), AfricaAsia and the South Pacific and Central and Eastern Europe.

All of Heifer's Study Tours let participants observe Heifer's model of sustainable development in action. While projects vary widely, visitors might see a bio-gas unit generating power from manure in China, meet the alpacas that help farmers subsist in the fragile high altitudes of Ecuador or see families harvest honey from their bee colonies in Poland. Some tours focus on specific issues like gender equity, agroecology, HIV/AIDS, animal well-being, microenterprise and education.

All Heifer Study Tours take you beyond your ideas about poverty and show you what the human spirit is capable of overcoming. When you meet the communities helped by Heifer, you will be touched by their stories, motivated by their achievements and inspired to overcome the challenges in your own life and community. Follow the links to the left to learn more about our current tour options.
