We
are following the MDG
philosophy by partnering on the construction and furnishing of a
facility for a "Head Start"- like program in Axim,
Ghana in support of the Millennium
Development Goals. A small contribution from our
relative abundance will change the lives of 30 disadvantaged
children a year by enabling them to overcome the handicap of
illiteracy and set them on the path towards being able to feed
themselves and their families, through primary education and gender equality.

emergency relief to the poorest of the poor. |

Heifer Project
Heifer's 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, resources, 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 over 60 years. Today,
millions of families in 128 countries have been given the gifts of
self-reliance and hope.
