Heifer International (India)

Heifer International does so much more than put food in the mouths of hungry people. Heifer helps people feed themselves.

The goal of every Heifer project is sustainability - project partners achieving self-reliance And year after year, as partner families Pass on the Gift of knowledge and one or more of their animals' offspring to others in need, they become links in a network of hope, dignity and self-reliance that helps hundreds of others care for themselves 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 India believes the goat and dairy value chains are promising enterprises to lift poor communities out of poverty. We provide gifts of animals, seeds, equipment and training in skills that lead to self-reliance. These resources support and empower farmers to meet their basic needs and create long-lasting change in their families and communities.
