“In my world, the needs of women and children transcend their politics.”
—DAN WEST, FOUNDER OF HEIFER INTERNATIONAL
Heifer has sought ways to increase the number of families around the world it can help move to self-reliance. For the last two years, one way Heifer has been able to do this is through an annual campaign. This year's Pass on the Gift Campaign is different in two ways. First, it goes beyond April to include all of spring, March, April and May.
The second change is a focus on Women in Livestock Development, WiLD. Participating individuals and groups can opt to send any funds they raise to the WiLD fund, which will go specifically to projects made up of 100-percent women. Campaign materials focusing on the empowerment of women can be found at www.heifer.org/wild.
Heifer Project International headquarters is located in Little Rock.
