Vincent often reminded us to teach how to fish rather than merely handout food. The Heifer Project stands in that tradition.Heifer animals (and training in their care) offer hungry families around the world a way to feed themselves and 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 to fulfilling dreams. Farmers learn sustainable, environmentally sound agricultural techniques.

They are rightfully proud to have been proud to share that “Worth magazine selected Heifer as one of the 100 best charities in the US”
The entire web site is very interesting and inspiring especvially with its “success Stories”.
