People Are Talking About Heifer InternationalHeifer Project International "In Mazapultepec, Mexico, many families live on $1800 a year. But an economic miracle is transforming the village. Owning a few [Heifer] dairy cows can make a huge difference. Farmers are even thinking of building their own milk-processing plant. That sort of dreaming didn't happen before the cows came." "Heifer is still working...long after other aid organizations have left." 
"In Sichuan, China, where Heifer provided 300 goats to 89 families, the number of goats has tripled in two years, raising annual incomes 30-50 percent." "For the price of an alpaca wool sweater ($150), an American can instead choose to give a family in the Andes one of the handsome, woolly creatures." "Heifer offers a warm, fuzzy gift list that keeps on giving...When you give an animal to a family, you don't have to lie awake and think, 'OK, I fed them today, but what will happen to them tomorrow?'"
