Heifer Nepal wishes everyone a Happy World Soil Day! 🌱🌍 This year's theme, “Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage”, highlights the vital role of accurate soil data in shaping sustainable practices. 🧑🌾📊 Healthy soils are the foundation of our food systems, boosting crop yields, conserving water, and preventing erosion. 🌾💧 By managing our soils responsibly, we improve food security and farmers' livelihoods worldwide. 🌍💚 The Heifer Nepal team marked the occasion by planting and pledging to protect our soils, raising awareness about their crucial role in sustaining ecosystems and agriculture. Let’s commit to preserving soil health for future generations. 🌿✨

Soil is essential for life. Yet, soil faces serious threats that reduce fertility and jeopardize food security. At Heifer International, we train smallholder farmers in regenerative agriculture, promoting farming and livestock practices to restore soil health and empower communities. This #WorldSoilDay, let’s give soil the love it deserves. Time to Care for Soils: MEASURE, MONITOR, MANAGE and grow a sustainable future together. Because without soil, nothing else stands! #regenerativeagriculture #sustainableagriculture

When you choose a gift from Heifer International, you share your blessings with others and create lasting memories while teaching your children the importance of giving back. Your family’s gift of a cow, a goat or garden seeds will provide a family in need with the tools and education to grow their farm, increase their income and build a business. Ultimately, you give them the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty once and for all. Start your tradition of giving today at Heifer.org.

Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️ We are so thankful for our incredible supporters and the hardworking farmers who are ending hunger and poverty around the world! 👏

This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for our generous supporters like Eli. With help from his mother, 7-year-old Eli sold handmade ornaments to raise money for Heifer International. "I’m Eli and I want to give an Ark-full of animals to help people who don’t have enough." Eli’s family has supported Heifer for decades, but Eli wanted to make an even bigger gift: an Ark to change the world two by two. An Ark of Heifer animals delivers more than $5,000 worth of impact — including all the training a family needs to turn their animals' byproducts into income, opportunity and hope. Eli gave a speech at church, and many supported his effort. "He spoke with such clarity and passion," said his mother, Katherine. "And sure enough, it paid off because they heard him, and they listened and they came through with their help." After raising more than $700 that first day, Eli's dream started to become reality. They continued to raise money, and with the help of an employer matching gift program at Katherine's job, they met Eli’s $5,000 goal for an Ark. "I kept Eli in the dark until Christmas, when I wrapped the Ark certificate and put it under the tree. He opened it with a huge smile and said, ‘This is the best Christmas present ever.’ It was for me, too. Eli did something at age 7 that I could never do. I’m so proud of him." A little hope and a big heart can work miracles. Eli’s Ark is at work today, helping families all over the world lift themselves from poverty.
