Ending Hunger, Caring for the Earth

Community is at the heart of Heifer.

Today, millions of people who were once hungry will be nourished by milk, eggs and fresh vegetables.

Families who for generations knew only poverty will be building new homes and starting businesses.

Children who once headed out to the fields to do backbreaking work will be heading into schoolrooms to learn to read.

And people who never thought they'd be in a position to help someone else will be experiencing the joy of charitable giving.

How is this possible? With Heifer's proven approach - almost 60 years in the making - to helping people obtain a sustainable source of food and income.

There are many ways that you can help families around the world. Below is an example of how you can support a family through Heifer International.

Give an Udderly Original Gift

Udderly Original Gift What would be the better gift for someone you love this holiday season - another present that gathers dust on a shelf? Or a donation that represents a heifer and training in its care, that brings health and hope to struggling families?

Better still, every gift multiplies, as the animal's first offspring is passed on to another family-then they also agree to pass on an animal, and so on.

A good dairy cow can produce four gallons of milk a day - enough for a family to drink and share with neighbors. Milk protein transforms sick, malnourished children into healthy boys and girls. The sale of surplus milk earns money for school fees, medicine, clothing and home improvements.

And because a healthy cow can produce a calf every year, every gift will be passed on and eventually help an entire community move from poverty to self reliance. Now that's a gift worth giving!
