Heifer Ranch's Global Passport
Life is full of surprising and overwhelming situations that are outside our control. Global Passport participants, in a safe simulation, experience what it is like when someone in your community loses everything and they must rely on the generosity of their neighbors. Will the community come together and provide the needed relief?
 After people’s immediate need for food, water and other necessities have been met, the need for relief work ends and development work begins.
Heifer works to empower communities by supplying them with the means – including livestock, training and other resources – to strengthen their families, their communities and their hope for a sustainable future. In the full Global Passport program, all “families” are challenged to improve their circumstances by adopting a variety of methods Heifer uses in the field, including adding livestock, improved animal management and finding a unique market to sell goods.
Throughout the two-night and three-night programs, participants must provide for their “family” by tending gardens and livestock, working in the village community, buying supplies from the international market and cooking authentic meals using appropriate technology. Each night the family will come together and sleep in representative housing, such as Tibetan yurt.
