Since 1944, Heifer International has assisted more than 46.4 million people towards its mission of ending hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth. Heifer International works hand in hand with rural communities in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the U.S. We empower smallholder farmers, particularly women farmers, to enhance their families’ food security and strive towards earning sustainable living incomes. We offer tools, training, and resources that help farmers work together to build profitable, sustainable businesses with strong market linkages.
