Heifer International

Do you see that banner at the top of the page for Heifer? I've put one of them on all my blogs to help promote this very worthy charity. Heifer uses money donated to help people develop a sustainable lifestyle, generate some income, and feed and educate their families.

Heifer gives livestock, honeybees, even ducks to families in areas where they are very poor. They train the people how to raise these animals and care for them. They promise to give the first offspring to another person or family in their village or community, then after that, they continue to raise the animals to use for food, clothing, or marketable items. The second family makes the same promise - to give away the first offspring. You can see how one gift can eventually benefit an entire village.

You can give to Heifer and know you are giving a sustainable lifestyle to someone who is struggling or even starving. Make this the best Christmas ever for someone in need.
