Heifer Named Charity of the Year

Heifer International, a nonprofit organization that helps to end world hunger and poverty, has been named Charity of the Year for 2017 by the website JustGiving.

Founded in 1944, Heifer provides livestock and training to families in need around the world. The animals given to families provide food and income, as well as help to break the cycle of poverty.

In a press release announcing the award, JustGiving cited Heifer's work in countries such as Malawi, where the charity has helped to reduce child mortality rates and increase school enrollment.

"What Heifer does is amazing," said JustGiving CEO Satya Sharma. "They are helping to end world hunger and poverty one family at a time, which is why we are so proud to name them our Charity of the Year."

Heifer has also been recognized for its work with refugees. In 2016, the charity partnered with UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, to launch an initiative called Heifer-UNHCR Ventures. The program provides livestock and training to refugees living in camps in Africa and the Middle East.

"Lack of food is a major contributor to forced displacement," said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi in a statement about the partnership. "Heifer's work with refugees is innovative and will have a lasting impact on their lives and livelihoods."

For its work with refugees and other initiatives aimed at ending world hunger and poverty, Heifer International has been named Charity of the Year by JustGiving.

Heifer Helps Farmers in Need

When families are struggling, Heifer International is there to provide them with much-needed livestock and training so they can become more self-sufficient.

Founded in 1944, Heifer has distributed more than 36 million animals around the world. They have helped millions of people escape from poverty, hunger and disease.

One of the most effective ways to help a family become more self-sufficient is to give them a heifer. A heifer is a young female cow that has not had a calf. She is an important part of a family's food security because she can provide milk, meat and fertilizer.

Heifer also provides training on how to care for the animal and how to use her products to improve their lives. Families are given an animal that is suited to the environment and their needs. This ensures that they will be able to care for the animal and that the animal will be able to produce offspring.

In addition to heifers, Heifer also provides sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits, camels and water buffalo. These animals are all important sources of sustenance for families around the world.

One of the best things about Heifer International is that it empowers families to help themselves. They are not just given an animal and told to fend for themselves. Heifer provides training on how to properly care for the animal and how to use her products in a sustainable way. This helps ensure that the family will be able to keep the animal healthy and productive long into the future.

By giving a family a heifer or another type of livestock, you are giving them hope for a brighter future. They will be able to produce their own food, which will help them out of poverty. They will also learn valuable skills that they can use to support their family for years to come.

Heifer Helps Families Become Self-Sufficient

A heifer is a female cow, and one of the most important animals on a farm. A heifer can be used for milk, meat, or breeding.

When a family in a developing country receives a heifer from Heifer International, they become self-sufficient. A heifer can provide milk for the family as well as extra milk to sell at the market. The money from the sale of this milk can help the family buy food and other necessary items.

A heifer can also be used to breed other cows on the farm. This can help increase the size of the herd and provide more milk, meat, and embryos for sale. In addition, having more cows on the farm helps make it more sustainable.

Heifer International is a nonprofit organization that has been working to help families become self-sufficient for over 70 years. They provide livestock and training to families in over 125 countries around the world.

When you donate to Heifer International, you are helping to improve the lives of families in need. You are also helping to ensure that these families have access to food and other essential items.

Thank you for your support!

Heifer Gives Hope to Those in Poverty

In the developing world, one out of every six people is chronically malnourished. In Africa, the figure is one in four.

Heifer International is working to change that. For more than 70 years, Heifer has been helping families and communities lift themselves out of poverty and hunger.

Heifer provides livestock and training in sustainable agriculture to those who need it most. This helps them create a sustainable source of food and income. And it gives them hope for a better future.

One Heifer project is transforming the lives of women in Rwanda. After the genocide there in 1994, many women were left orphaned and widowed. They had little hope for the future.

That changed when Heifer came to Rwanda in 2001. Today, more than 9,000 women are benefitting from Heifer projects there.

These women are learning how to raise livestock and grow crops. They are also learning how to start their own businesses. As a result, they are able to provide for their families and build a brighter future for themselves and their children.

Heifer is also working to improve food security in Africa's Sahel region. The Sahel is an area that extends across eight countries in Africa's sub-Saharan region. It is home to more than 18 million people who are struggling to get enough food to eat.

Heifer is helping to change that. With Heifer's help, farmers in the Sahel are able to produce more food for their families. They are also learning how to preserve food so it lasts longer. This helps them cope with periods of drought and other emergencies."
