Welcome to the Heifer International team, John. We're going to do some amazing things together. But first:

Did you know that just one animal has the power to transform the future?

It's true. A single goat, heifer, cow or chick can have an enormous impact when combined with the training and support of the Heifer International community.

Take two minutes to watch this video and find out how:



Small-scale farmers are the backbone of agriculture in the developing world — but all too often they don't have the tools, training or livestock to earn a sustainable living. That puts their futures, and their children's futures, at risk.

Giving a family an animal gives them a hand up. In the countries where we work, receiving an animal is like receiving a small business, allowing farmers to earn sustainable income and support their families.

Even better, thanks to our Passing on the Gift model, the first offspring of each Heifer animal is passed on to a new family, changing lives across whole communities.

Watch our video below to learn all about it, and meet some of the people we've worked with over the years:
