Corie's Challenge

What is Heifer?

Heifer provides long term solutions to hunger and poverty. Since 1944, Heifer International has helped 8.5 million families or the equivalent of 45 million women, men, boys, and girls in more than 125 countries move toward greater self-reliance through the gift of livestock and training in environmentally sound agriculture. The impact of each initial gift is multiplide as recipients agree to "pass on the gift" by giving one or more of their animal's offspring, or the equivalent, to another in need.
(From a letter from President and CEO of Heifer International, Jo Luck)
