From Poverty to Power
We believe in the power of people — the power to overcome, to flourish, to thrive.
But when overwhelmed by hunger and poverty, this power often seems unattainable. That’s where Heifer — and generous donors like you — come in.
How You Can Help
Heifer International is a global nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger and poverty. Since 1944, we’ve provided people with the resources, education and opportunity they need to lift themselves out of poverty — and discover their power.
Your gift today helps propel families from poverty to power.

We're Building a Better World
How We Do It
A family living in poverty receives animals and training from Heifer. The animals give products like milk and eggs, which can be eaten or sold.
The family learns how to create a business with their new source of income. As their business grows, so does their income.
With a secure source of income, parents discover their power ... and can provide for their families in ways they’ve never been able to before.
