The Heifer approach
End hunger, overcome poverty
Heifer works collaboratively with smallholder farmers according to a holistic approach. This approach assists farming families in enhancing their production, earning a sustainable living income, overcoming social taboos, and ensuring diversity in nutrition. Both today and in the future.
Heifer werkt samen met arme boerengezinnen én gemeenschappen zodat ze kunnen:
End hunger
Overcome poverty
Resilient to climate change
The road to success
Our projects are known for the local-led integrated approach on income improvement, food security and climate change adaptation. When this is combined with a focus on women’s empowerment, better opportunities for youth and group collaboration, strong and resilient communities emerge that have the power to end hunger and overcome poverty.
Technical aspects
Heifer developed holistic tools to measure its interventions alleviating vulnerable households out of poverty and to measure the economic sustainability of Farmer Owned Agricultural Businesses.
