WORLD MISSIONS

Heifer Project International

Heifer Project International is a nonprofit organization that since 1944 has worked to alleviate hunger and poverty by providing struggling families a way to become self-reliant. Through the gifts of livestock and training, a family can obtain eggs, wool and other benefits to feed, clothe and educate their children. Last year 30,000 families in 46 countries of the world and families in 18 states of the United States were assisted. Local involvement and management of its projects are stressed, empowering communities to solve their own problems and equipping the next generation to successfully face challenges. Each family that receives animals enjoys the dignity of giving one or more of its animal’s offspring to another family in need, becoming not only a recipient but also a donor by “Passing on the Gift”.
