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
The Sunday School students learned
about Heifer International and their
mission to end world hunger by giving
families a source of food rather than a
short term fix.
The students had some special guests
and the craft project centered on ducks
and sheep!
After Service, the students raised a
whopping $471 by "selling" some
animals that they made! The Heifer
Project will be ongoing for the month of
May.
FEED YOUR MIND. TAKE ACTION. END HUNGER.
