Heifer International, is a non-profit organization whose mission is to end hunger and poverty in partnership with the communities they serve. Their programs support small-scale farmers around the world, creating lasting change from the ground up. It begins with the gift of livestock and training, followed by mentorship to help project participants earn a living income, build a business, and ultimately to gain access to supply chains and markets. A process that allows families to break the cycle of poverty and their communities to flourish.
