Heifer International doesn’t give people a handout; we give them a way out… out of hunger, poverty and desperation. For more than 65 years, in more than 125 countries including the U.S., we’ve turned hardworking but hungry people into entrepreneurs by supplying livestock and training in Earth-friendly agriculture. Cows, ducks, chickens, goats and other livestock produce milk, eggs, wool and organic fertilizer that people can use or sell, transforming their lives by building microenterprises. Communities are able to feed, clothe, educate and care for their families. The families agree to Pass on the Gift of livestock and training, creating a sustainable circle of hope and self-reliance. And that’s the kind of return we can all appreciate. Find out more at our website www.heifer.org/invest.
