Heifer provides and collects livestock for small-scale communities and farm families. They also provide them with the appropriate training and services needed to own and use livestock. The livestock can be used for food and/or profit. ||

They teach them to use them, and also teach them valuable farming and life skills. We believe this is what sets Heifer apart from most organizations, and makes the foundation better than most. ||

Heifer Ghana is a newer program compared to their other projects. In addition to livestock, Heifer gives honeybees. Ghana imports sugar, which can be expensive, so honey is a good alternative for farmers. ||

With the help of Heifer International this numbers can drastically change. ||

We believe Heifer is better than most organizations because they don’t just give money to their cause, they actually teach the recipients to use their gift, and how to use it ||
