Since 1944, Heifer International has helped more than 15.5 million people in over 125 countries, including the United States, become self-reliant through sustainable agricultural practices. Heifer International works on the ground and hand-in-hand with impoverished communities, developing a sustainable approach to meeting their unique needs for nutrition, income, housing, education, and sanitation. Heifer International is happy to offer resources and curriculum especially designed for use in faith based communities.One of our most popular programs, Animal Crackers, is a complete set of lesson plans for Christian or Jewish spiritual studies. This exciting educational fundraising program features five sessions for children, youth and adults on the topics of Hunger and the Bible/Tanakh, Animals, People and their Needs, Land and the Environment, and Passing on the Gift.
