About the Organization
Heifer was established 75 years ago to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities.

Since 1944, Heifer has helped 20.7 million households – more than 105 million people – in over 125 countries, through community-based training, appropriate technologies, and agricultural resources, enabling communities to lift themselves out of poverty and hunger on to a path of self-reliance and economic prosperity.
