A child can live on one meal a day. That doesn’t mean they should. Your monthly gift will equip parents with the resources and training to lift themselves out of poverty and provide their children with three healthy meals a day.
Jonathan's family has completely transformed their lives thanks to the gift of a cow, seeds and training.
Since 2014, they have opened a bank account for the first time, built a home with new furniture, cement floors and a sanitary bathroom, and opened a shop to sell seeds, farming supplies and veterinarian medicine.
The children no longer have to survive on less than two meals a day, and Jonathan's parents can finally afford to send them to school.

1. Families receive animals.
Gifts from Heifer provide an immediate nutritional boost for families — like milk from cows or goats or eggs from chickens.
2. Fields & gardens flourish.
Heifer teaches farmers how to better care for their crops, and animal manure acts as a powerful fertilizer. This means more crops to eat and sell!
3. Incomes are increased.
Parents can sell extra eggs, milk, produce and products like cheese or yogurt. This new income can be used to diversify their diets.
4. Children THRIVE!
With three meals a day, children can grow strong and healthy. Instead of focusing on hunger, they can focus on school … and on being kids!
Every gift to Heifer makes a difference, but knowing your gift is coming each month helps us better plan and manage our long-term projects. This allows us to ultimately help more families lift themselves out of poverty.
