Hiefer International

2006-2007

Club Function:
The Heifer Project is a charitable organization whose goals are to increase awareness about world hunger and raise money to buy quality stock animals (cows, goats, llamas, bees, chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc.) for poverty-stricken families in developing countries to provide them a means of food and income. The money also pays for a trainer to teach the family how to care for and use the animals.

Heifer Mission to End Hunger

Heifer envisions
A world of communities living together in peace and equitably sharing the resources of a healthy planet.
Heifer's mission is
To work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth.
Heifer's strategy is
To "pass on the gift." As people share their animals' offspring with others - along with their knowledge, resoruces, and skills - an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe.
Heifer's History
This simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief caught on and has continued for almost 60 years. Today, millions of families in 128 countries have been given the gifts of self-reliance and hope.
