Heifer International's Annual Catalog for Alternative GivingHeifer Project International The claim that Heifer International offers THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT CATALOG IN THE WORLD is surprising . . . until you realize that with every order from this catalog, you actually change lives! Not many catalog publishers can make this claim. We can because every item we list is a promise to a hungry family. The colorful pages tell how each goat, cow, sheep, water buffalo or other farm animal you purchase has the potential of supplying a struggling family with food and income for a lifetime. Milk, eggs, wool or honey can provide nutrition, as well as income for education, health care, clothing and shelter.  Heifer International is a world hunger-relief organization with a rich legacy. We provide livestock and expert agricultural training based on more than 50 years of global experience with communities of all races, creeds and cultures. The training provided by Heifer insures that animals and land stay healthy and productive. These holistic solutions are known to be effective in a world where the concept of long-term results is often forgotten among charitable organizations working with the poor. Since 1944, Heifer has provided more than 4 million families in 125 countries worldwide with the tools to become self-reliant. In choosing a tax-deductible gift from THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT CATALOG IN THE WORLD, you are not just changing the life of one family. Each family receiving a gift animal promises to pass on the first offspring of that animal to another family in need. In this way, the gift goes on and on, changing an entire community by offering many poor families a dignified way out of poverty and into self-reliance. When you select your gifts in the name of friends or family members, you are honoring them in a unique way. Your vision will touch their hearts and offer an alternative to outworn patterns of celebration. We often hear about those honored by a Heifer International gift. . . . My grandfather used to raise honeybees, which helped him weather the Depression in the '30s. When he read his card telling about our gift of Heifer International bees to a hungry family, he smiled and then cried. He knows the meaning of finding a way through hard times. He knows that bees can double crop yields and provide candle wax, pollen for medicine and honey to eat and sell. Best of all, he didn't have to find a place for yet another gift he didn't really need. Heifer International believes that each of us has the power to change lives. For millions of the world's poor, THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT CATALOG IN THE WORLD holds the keys to an evolution we know is possible: a radical end to hunger.
