Heifer International’s Online Press Room is a great tool to use to learn more about Heifer's work.

Heifer’s mission is to end hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth. For more than 65 years, Heifer International has provided gifts of livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of those who struggle daily for reliable sources of food and income. Since 1944, Heifer has helped 12 million families--62 million men, women and children--through training in livestock development and livestock gifts that multiply.

Every gift of an animal provides direct benefits such as milk, eggs, wool, fertilizer, as well as indirect benefits that increase family incomes for better housing, nutrition, health care and school fees for children, especially girls. Recipients Pass on the Gift of offspring of their cows, goats and other livestock as well as education and training to others in an ever-widening circle of help and hope.

Heifer provides 28 types of animals to families in need in more than 50 countries, including the United States.
