Heifer International was founded in 1947, just one year after ECLOF, and the two organizations share a rich fund of common values. Heifer provides gifts of livestock and training to help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. A signal feature of their work is their view of the animals as “living loans” because in exchange for livestock and training, families agree to give one of their animal’s offspring to another family in need. Heifer calls this “Passing on the Gift”.
