Heifer Raises more than $1 million in online auction

Heifer International, a nonprofit specializing in animal agriculture and sustainable development, announced this week that it raised more than $1 million from an online auction of heifers and other livestock.

The organization partnered with the online marketplace Mobly to auction off 20 pregnant cows, 1,000 chicks, and other small livestock over the course of 10 days. Goods were shipped to buyers in countries including Brazil, Mexico, and Uruguay.

"This is a huge accomplishment for Heifer International and for the families who will benefit from these animals," said CEO Pierre Ferrari in a statement. "It's also a testament to the power of giving: when people have an opportunity to help others in need, they often take it."

Founded in 1944, Heifer International has worked with millions of people in more than 125 countries to improve their livelihoods and combat hunger and poverty. Animals distributed through the organization's programming provide families with not only food but also sources of income and improved health.

In addition to its work with individuals, Heifer International also trains farmers and pastoralists in sustainable agriculture methods so that they can continue to produce food for their communities long after Heifer has left.

Heifer program helps families in developing countries

Heifer International is a nonprofit organization that helps families in developing countries become more self-sufficient. One of the ways Heifer does this is by providing livestock and training in sustainable agriculture techniques.

When a family receives a goat, for example, they are taught how to care for it and how to use the milk and meat to improve their diets. In addition, the family is given a copy of the Heifer International handbook, which provides information on sustainable agriculture techniques.

The Heifer program has been very successful in helping families in developing countries become more self-sufficient. For example, in Malawi, Heifer has provided over 6,000 families with livestock and training. As a result, these families have seen an increase in their incomes and improved nutrition.

If you would like to help families in developing countries become more self-sufficient, you can donate to Heifer International. Your donation will provide livestock and training to families in need, and help them improve their lives.

Heifer International announces new president

Heifer International, a nonprofit organization working to eradicate hunger and poverty, has announced that Pierre Lampron will be succeeding Kim Gerten as president. Lampron is the first person to hold the position who is not from the United States.

Gerten, who served as president since 2006, is stepping down to focus on other work with Heifer. Lampron has a long history with the organization, having been involved since 1985.

"Pierre brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience to this new role," said Gerten. "Heifer's global team is poised for continued success in meeting the needs of our beneficiaries around the world."

Lampron praised Heifer's work, stating that it was "critical to have an organization like Heifer International in today's world - one that can help families break the cycle of poverty and build sustainable livelihoods."

Headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, Heifer International has operations in over 35 countries.

Heifer project provides clean water to school in Africa

The goal of the heifer project is to provide clean water to school children in Africa. Heifer has installed a well in the village of Kyamugurwa, which will help to provide clean drinking water for the students and staff at the Kyamugurwa Primary School. The well was funded by a grant from the U.S. African Development Foundation, and it was inaugurated in May of 2018.

The heifer project is also working to improve sanitation at the school. A new latrine has been built, and it is now being used by the students and staff. This will help to reduce the spread of disease and improve the health of everyone at the school.

The heifer project is making a difference in the lives of children in Africa. By providing clean drinking water and improved sanitation, they are helping to improve the health and education of these children.

Heifer helps farmers in drought-stricken area of Argentina

In the midst of a severe drought, Heifer International is coming to the aid of small farmers in the province of San Juan, Argentina.

Heifer is providing cows, chickens, and other livestock to farmers in the province, which has been hard hit by the lack of rain. The animals will help families to generate income and improve their nutrition.

"The donation of animals by Heifer is a great help for us during these trying times," said José Luis Combarro, a small farmer in San Juan.

The cows will provide milk and cheese, while the chickens will lay eggs that can be eaten or sold. In addition, the animals will help to fertilize the soil and recycle organic matter.

Heifer has provided similar assistance to farmers in other parts of the world that have been affected by drought. In East Africa, for example, Heifer has helped more than 500,000 people to become self-reliant through livestock donations.
