help Heifer International FAQ
How does Heifer International's livestock donation program work?
Heifer International funds livestock, training, and community programs rather than simply shipping an animal to every donor's chosen family. Its model emphasizes helping participating households build income and pass benefits through the community.
What does the Heifer International gift catalog actually provide?
The catalog includes symbolic gifts such as goats, chickens, trees, and farmer training that support Heifer projects. The exact use of a donation depends on the current program and location, so the catalog gift should not be read as a guaranteed one-to-one delivery.
Where does Heifer International work?
Heifer has worked with small-scale farmers and communities in countries across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Its programs focus on sustainable agriculture, market access, nutrition, and household income.
Is Heifer International a livestock charity or a disaster-relief charity?
Its main focus is long-term hunger and poverty reduction through agriculture and community development. That differs from organizations such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, whose core role includes emergency disaster response.
