About Heifer International:

Heifer International is a global nonprofit working to eradicate poverty and hunger through sustainable, values-based holistic community development. We work to end hunger and poverty in partnership with the communities we serve. Our programs support entrepreneurs around the world, creating lasting change from the ground up.

It begins with a seed investment of livestock or agriculture, followed by mentorship to help project participants build a business, and ultimately to gain access to supply chains and markets.
