Age group: Grades 5-12
Geographic area: Worldwide
Heifer International provides animals and training to people in need around the world so they can become self-reliant. Children receive nutritious milk or eggs; families earn income for school, health care and better housing; communities go beyond meeting immediate needs; and farmers learn sustainable, environmentally sound agricultural techniques.
You can help Heifer by raising money to buy an animal for a family in need. Figure out how many animals you would like to buy and then set your fundraising goals. You'll receive a letter from Heifer thanking you for participating, a video about Heifer, and information on how the animal(s) you provide will help people improve their lives. When you've completed your project, you will get a certificate of accomplishment from Heifer International.
