Oloka John, a 35-year-old smallholder dairy farmer, received a pregnant cow and agricultural training from Heifer Uganda. John, his wife and three children began investing in several projects like poultry and banana trees, which improved the family's livelihood and income. Their knowledge and success has made them role models for others in their village.
An estimated 125 households participating in two Heifer Uganda projects lost livestock, crops and even their homes in the floods that hit the Kasese district in the beginning of May 2013.
On March 22, 2013, Heifer Uganda received the Best Anti-Poverty Organization Award for Uganda's Golden Jubilee, competing against other nominees including ActionAID, OXFAM International and World Vision. Several assessments were undertaken by independent teams nationwide to determine the international NGO with the best sustainable approaches toward poverty eradication.
