Mission Statement
Heifer International’s mission is to end hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth. Heifer does this by providing appropriate livestock, training and related services to small-scale farmers in communities worldwide. Celebrating 80 years in 2024, Heifer remains commited to lifting families out of poverty, training smallholder farmers, and creating lasting change to communities around the world by providing sustainable, locally led development.
About This Cause
Heifer International's mission is to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities. Our programs support entrepreneurs around the world, creating lasting change from the ground up. It begins with a seed investment in livestock or agriculture, followed by mentorship to help project participants build a business, and ultimately to gain access to supply chains and markets. These families can earn a living income and continuously lift their communities as they train the next generation of leaders. Heifer International is a global development organization on a mission to end hunger and poverty sustainably. In 1944, Dan West began outlining a simple but groundbreaking plan to tackle hunger around the world. His philosophy still inspires Heifer’s work today. Partnering with farmers across a range of different livestock and crops, we create unique solutions to local challenges. Together, we build inclusive, resilient economies, so communities can develop effective ways to end global hunger and poverty in a sustainable way. Currently present in countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas, we support smallholder farming households and their communities to identify, manage and invest in diversified livelihood opportunities in agricultural value chains. We also promote environmentally sound and climate-smart agricultural practices. Our approach is and has always been locally led by the communities we serve, in response to their expressed needs and priorities. Heifer offers capacity strengthening to bolster autonomous action and facilitates linkages with private sector value chain partners to ensure sustainability of community farming enterprises. Our goal for these rural communities is that over time, Heifer's interventions catalyze and expand rural development, and development initiatives sustain and scale on the momentum driven by local farmers.
