Heifer International

Heifer works in 21 countries, supporting local people to build sustainable food and farming businesses through community-owned interventions and has equipped more than 36.9 million families with the tools and training to end poverty in their communities. Recognizing that development solutions need to be relevant to local contexts, Heifer has developed a values-based community development model underpinned by their 12 Cornerstones for Just and Sustainable Development to serve as the foundation for community growth. By organizing their work into large-scale programs focused on long-term partnerships and sustainable change in many parts of the globe, Heifer works alongside local communities and other project partners to improve access to income, education, sanitation, water, health care and infrastructure.
