Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

International Development: Agro-ecology: Heifer provides gifts of seeds, grains and trees and teaches farmers and families geographically appropriate and resource-sound agricultural practices that enhance and increase crop productivity and are good for the environment. Heifer works with local organizations to increase farmer's access to markets to improve economic benefit and increase personal gain from what they grow. This allows farmers to enhance food security and sovereignty, increase local food options and availability and provide safe and affordable locally grown foods. Heifer's work is guided in its approach by its 12 Cornerstones, including Passing on the Gift, accountability, sharing and caring, gender and family focus, genuine need and justice and full participation. All contribute to Heifer's values-based and holistic approach to giving people a hand up, not a hand out to a better, richer life.

Activity 3

International Development Programs: Education: Heifer works to educate people of all ages in the United States and elsewhere around the world about the root causes, the contributors to and the challenges of global hunger and poverty, and to teach them how to become part of the solution. Heifer learning centers empower people to experience, through learning, what it feels like to be poor and hungry and provides programs and lessons that inspire them to take some action toward ending hunger and poverty.
