Heifer International has a unique and successful approach to ending hunger and poverty. Since 1944, Heifer has provided food- and income-producing animals and training to millions of resource-poor families in 115 countries. For as little as $20 this humanitarian organization allows you to donate bees a chick, goose, chicken, duck, rabbit, goat, pig, llama, buffalo or cow to a family in need enabling them to create a self-sustaining livelihood. Milk, eggs, wool, draft power and other benefits from the animals provide families with food and income.

By training partners in environmentally sound, sustainable agriculture practices, Heifer makes lasting change possible. At the heart of Heifer's philosophy is the commitment families make to "pass on the gift," by sharing one or more of their animal's offspring with other families in need.
