2nd List Post

There are a variety of ways that constitute HEIFER's methodology for poverty eradication. Though, some other organizations have adopted and instituted some of these ways towards their fight of eradicating poverty, the ideas and perspectives of these different organizations differ. HEIFER believes that all people deserve dignity, opportunity, and a future free from hunger. The HEIFER way includes:

1. Animals: HEIFER's passing on the gift program has on average, lasted for at least nine generations, no matter the project. Animals provide life-sustaining products, such as milk, eggs, cheese, honey, and wool. Families become the cycle of positive change, by passing on the offsprings of each animal that they receive. 
2. Clean Water: Through sustainable agriculture, HEIFER teaches families and communities to manage their water resources, since water is the foundation of health and prosperity.
3. Women's Empowerment: HEIFER empowers women to be able to work and become self-sufficient, to send their children to school, and pay medical bills, unlocking the potential in every woman.
4. Education And Training: HEIFER helps families gain a new mindset and way of relating that will free them from the psychological and social effects of years of poverty, through their Cornerstones And Values Based Holistic Development training.
5. Sustainable Farming: Farming is the most core, elemental human role. HEIFER believes that working with communities and small scale farmers can help small farms in impoverished nations to be transformed.
