Ending poverty begins with agriculture
Heifer International is on a mission to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities.
Heifer’s Mission
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.
These families are able to earn a living income and continuously lift up their communities as they train the next generation of leaders.
By supporting and training the world’s farmers, ranchers, and female business owners, we’re investing in a new breed of success.
Partnerships
Heifer works with strategic partners at all levels to connect smallholder farmers to opportunity, strengthen market systems and achieve sustainable impact at scale. Our partners share our commitment to inclusive, environmentally sound solutions and include farmer organizations, women’s groups, businesses, governments, funders, researchers and more. Heifer also leverages generous financial support from thousands of individual donors to further our impact.
