Heifer Ranch CSA

Trusted as a results-driven partner We believe that ending hunger and poverty begins by developing long-term solutions in partnership with the people we’re serving. Through this work, we’ve helped empower more than 52.6 million families since 1944. When communities and other stakeholders are actively engaged in implementation and financing, projects are more sustainable. This enables us to work on a deeper level, fostering economic markets that allow family members to earn a living income, so the basic needs of everyone in the household are met. We have seen results in transforming the level of transparency, accountability, and innovation in the nonprofit world through blockchain technology. Our School Milk Program in Tanzania is providing milk for children who suffer from a lack of proper nutrition while creating a reliable market for producers. Through Hatching Hope, our partnership with Cargill is allowing farmers to expand poultry production and sell their products at market for a living income. We are committed to running an efficient and effective organization. We believe values-based partnerships and investments are necessary for long-term growth.
