It Takes a Village

Empower communities towards prosperity

Your gift of It Takes a Village builds upon what we all know—no solution to hunger and poverty can ever take root unless we engage communities to come together to propel their families toward prosperity. Through education, training and encouragement, Heifer is helping farmers find their voices by showing them there is strength in numbers. That’s why your gift will connect many hardworking families together.

For example, your gift may help a group of small dairy farmers negotiate better pricing for their milk, as well as set up the critical infrastructure that enables families to pool key resources and share expenses so there are greater profits for everyone.

Not only that, but your gift will foster an even greater sense of community as Heifer helps local farmers develop groups and meetings where they can each share the lessons they’ve learned. This means families have even more support and resources—and experience even greater success.

With your help, a large number of hardworking families will break free from hunger and poverty by partnering together—ensuring entire villages flourish.

“Today I am something. I have substance; I have animals; I have crops. My group gave me the inspiration, the idea and the confidence to do all this.”
