1.        Background 

Heifer International is a global non-profit working to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth by using sustainable practices and engaging smallholder farmers in agricultural and animal husbandry development. Heifer was founded on the simple belief that ending hunger begins with giving people the means to feed themselves, generate income and achieve sustainable livelihoods. As a private, non-governmental organization based in Little Rock, Arkansas, Heifer has created lasting change for farming households in over 125 countries across Latin America, Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe for over 70 years. Heifer International partner with institutions and stakeholders at every level to build an ecosystem that fosters scaling of community-based enterprises and generate sustainable and equitable return to the producers and small holder farmers.

Heifer has long been recognized for its drive to end hunger, poverty, and care for the Earth. Heifer's Values-Based Holistic Community Development (VBHCD) model, with its 12 pillars for Just and sustainable development, is the foundation of her work.
