About us
In 1944, Heifer International’s founder, Dan West, began outlining a simple but groundbreaking plan to tackle hunger around the world. West, a farmer from the Midwest and Church of the Brethren member, had recently returned from feeding weary refugees during volunteer service in the Spanish Civil War. He had seen firsthand that giving people food was a short-term solution, whereas providing them with animals offered a steady supply of nutritious food for an entire family. His philosophy still inspires Heifer’s work today. Partnering with farmers across a range of different livestock and crops, we create unique solutions to local challenges. Today, Heifer International has operations in 19 countries around the world, working alongside local farmers, business owners and their communities, as they mobilize and envision their futures. Together, we build inclusive, resilient economies, so communities can develop effective ways to end global hunger and poverty in a sustainable way. To date, we have supported more than 52 million farming families across Africa, Asia and the Americas and in the past five years alone, we have worked alongside 2.7 million families to close the living income gap or set them on a path to doing so. Between now and 2030, we will support an additional 10 million people to reach a living income by scaling up our signature programs. To achieve this, Heifer International relies on its passionate, committed and highly skilled staff.

At Heifer International, we train smallholder farmers in regenerative agriculture, promoting farming and livestock practices to restore soil health and empower communities. This #WorldSoilDay, let’s give soil the love it deserves. Time to Care for Soils: MEASURE, MONITOR, MANAGE and grow a sustainable future together. Because without soil, nothing else stands! #regenerativeagriculture #sustainableagriculture

This holiday season, start a tradition your children will be proud to continue. When you choose a gift from Heifer International, you share your blessings with others and create lasting memories while teaching your children the importance of giving back. Your family’s gift of a cow, a goat or garden seeds will provide a family in need with the tools and education to grow their farm, increase their income and build a business. Ultimately, you give them the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty once and for all. Start your tradition of giving today at Heifer.org.
