Heifer's Mission to End Hunger
Heifer envisions a world of communities living together in peace, and equitably sharing the resources of a healthy planet.
Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth.
Heifer's strategy is to “pass on the gift.” As people share their animals’ offspring with others – along with their knowledge, resources, and skills – an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe.
Heifer’s History
This simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief caught on and has continued for over 60 years. Today, millions of families in 128 countries have been given the gifts of self-reliance and hope.

Heifer has learned over the years that a holistic approach is necessary in order to build sustainable communities. So we’ve developed a set of global initiatives – areas of emphasis that must be addressed if we’re to meet our mission of ending world hunger and poverty and caring for the earth.
We have programs internationally. An example of our programs could be found in africa:
* Where diets are not balanced and appropriate, Heifer is working to improve nutrition.
* Where schools are beyond the reach of many children, Heifer is helping families earn extra income to pay for tuition and books.
* Where erosion has rendered farmland all but useless, Heifer is providing trees and agricultural training to improve the soil.
