I think this is such a simple yet ingenious idea: <!-- m -->http://www.heifer.org/site/c.edJRKQNiFiG/b.183217/<!-- m -->

Heifer International

To End Hunger & Poverty
Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.

By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope.

With gifts of livestock and training, we help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. We refer to the animals as “living loans” because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of its animal’s offspring to another family in need. It’s called Passing on the Gift – a cornerstone of our mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace.

    Lots of choices for your dollar; there is something for everyone. 89% of every dollar goes to support programs helping children & families.
