Heifer International announces largest ever donation of livestock to help refugees in Jordan

AMMAN, Jordan, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Heifer International today announced the donation of 1,000 livestock to help refugees in Jordan. The animals – 400 cows, 200 sheep, 100 goats and 200 beehives – will provide critical income and nutrition for families who have fled their homes due to conflict in neighboring countries.

"This is the largest donation of livestock ever made by Heifer International and we are excited to be working with our partners on the ground to help these refugee families," said Pierre Ferrari, president and CEO of Heifer International. "Livestock can provide essential protein and nutrients, as well as a vital source of income. They are a lifeline for vulnerable families who have lost everything."

The donation was made through an agreement between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Heifer International. The livestock will be distributed to refugees in al-Azraq Camp and surrounding communities.

Al-Azraq Camp is home to more than 33,000 Syrian refugees and is one of the largest camps in Jordan. It is located in a strategic location close to the Syrian border, making it a common entry point for those fleeing violence and seeking refuge in Jordan.

Heifer International has been working in Jordan since 2004, providing training and technical assistance to farmers and herders living in rural areas throughout the country. The organization has also distributed livestock to more than 2,500 Jordanian families as part of its efforts to improve food security and reduce poverty.

HeiferInternational provides goats to help Syrian refugees in Lebanon

When the Syrian conflict began in 2011, millions of people fled their homes to escape the violence. Some settled in neighboring countries, such as Lebanon, while others made their way to Europe or North America.

Lebanon has taken in more than 1.5 million refugees, who now make up one-quarter of the population. This influx has placed a tremendous strain on the country's resources, including its water and food supplies.

Many refugees have found themselves living in desperate conditions, with little or no access to basic necessities.

One organization that is working to improve the lives of Syrian refugees in Lebanon is Heifer International. Heifer is providing goats to refugee families as a way of helping them generate income and improve their self-sufficiency.

The goats provide milk, meat and fertilizer, which can help families sustain themselves and improve their living conditions. In addition, the goats help to strengthen community ties by providing an opportunity for people to come together and share in the care of the animals.

Heifer is also working to promote peace and reconciliation between refugees and host communities. By bringing people together and providing them with opportunities for mutual assistance, Heifer is helping to build bridges between different groups of people who are struggling to survive in difficult circumstances.
