Heifer International

Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth. In 1944, Heifer sent the first cows abroad. They were distributed throughout Europe following World War II. Heifer has expanded its mission and the types of animals it now provides—from goats, geese and guinea pigs to bees, silkworms and water buffalo.

Ed4Career makes quarterly donations to Heifer Project. By giving families a hand-up, not just a handout, Heifer empowers them to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity, but their approach is more than that. Heifer offers training in animal husbandry to each family & community that receives an animal.

By bringing communities together and linking them with markets in their area, Heifer helps bring sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty.
