The Heifer Global Village Experience

The realities of obtaining shelter, food, water and firewood. An existence in which nothing can be taken for granted.

Learn more by viewing a powerful documentary on the Global Gateway experience here.

Heifer Global Village programs show participants that sometimes having a little means a lot. Whether spending one day in a village representing one of the regions in which Heifer works or participating in the more intense programs, visitors will be taken through the daily struggles that impoverished people face every day.

In living the lives of others, you’ll find that something extraordinary happens. Your attitudes about individual action, community cooperation, and sustainable solutions for global hunger, poverty and the environment will be transformed. Your understanding of the world – and your place in it – will change forever.
