| One goat can provide a family with quarts of milk each day, and goats are hardy enough to thrive even in dry, difficult climates. |
Heifer International has worked in Zambia since 1988, supporting rural families and grassroots organizations by providing them with animals and training in sustainable diversified farming practices based on the values and principles our organization.
This five year effort will improve the lives of many families living in poverty in Zambia. These families are displaced mineworkers, facing high unemployment rates and food shortages. Through the work of this project, Heifer will not only provide the lifesaving livestock these families need but also provide them with valuable agroecology skills and training in marketing and sustainable agriculture.
In two short years, 502 families will have attained food security through increased livestock and food crops production and by the end of 2012, 80% of the participants will have doubled their household income from the sale of extra crops and livestock  products.
With your project support, these families will have a sustainable food supply, and will then share their success with other families through passing on the gift.
