Women in Livestock Development
Heifer International's goal is to end poverty. It's a simple goal but requires serious commitment. In our effort to do this we recognize that women make up 70% of the world's poor. Women produce 80% of developing world's food yet own less than 1% of the earth's land.
By focusing on women we also help struggling families and communities. Overlooked by government programs and often denied education, rural women face a cycle of poverty, hunger and despair. Without help, many toil endlessly yet watch, helpless, as death, too often steals their children.
But there is a way out. In a world where too many women feel powerless you have the power through a simple gift to help them to change their circumstances.
You can become a helpful participant by making a donation to help out the women who are looking for a way out not a hand-out. Through training from Heifer International and our model of Passing on the Gift, women and their entire communities overcome social and cultural barriers.

Gifts made through this catalog represent a gift to the entire mission. To help the most number of families move toward self-reliance, Heifer does not use its limited resources to track gift animals from donation to distribution. We use your gifts where they can do the most good by pooling them with the gifts of others to help transform entire communities. And, because you are helping Heifer fight hunger and poverty, your gift is tax deductible. |
