Global Acts
Heifer International
Today, millions of people who were once hungry will be nourished by milk,
and
fresh vegetables
Families who for generations knew only poverty will be building new homes and starting businesses.
Children who once headed out to the fields to do backbreaking work will be heading into schoolrooms to learn to read.
And people who never thought they'd be in a position to help someone else will be experiencing the joy of charitable giving.
How is this possible?
With Heifer's proven approach – almost 60 years in the making – to helping people obtain a sustainable source of food and income.
Heifer International helps to bridge the gap of hunger by making it possible for people with more resources to increase the opportunities for people with very little resources by providing them with livestock—a direct source of nourishment and the opportunity to generate income.

Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (S.O.I.L)
SOIL seeks to support and engage in collaborative community-based education and implementation projects which utilize local creativity, resources, and labor to enhance soil fertility, improve crop yields, limit erosion, protect water resources, and create livelihood opportunities for impoverished communities in Haiti.
Earth Island Institute
Earth Island Institute (EII), founded in 1982 by veteran environmentalist David Brower, fosters the efforts of creative individuals by providing organizational support in developing projects for the conservation, preservation, and restoration of the global environment. EII provides activists the freedom to develop program ideas, supported by services to help them pursue those ideas, with a minimum of bureaucracy.
