A flock of chicks changes lives
Your flock of chickens gift donation helps provide a family in need with a starter flock of 10 to 50 chicks, along with the training that will empower them to turn your donation into a lifetime of opportunity. Each flock of chicks:
Provides eggs and protein for nourishment
Boosts income through sales of extra eggs and offspring
Ensures security for generations through Passing on the Gift
Chickens require little space and can thrive on readily available scraps; this allows families to make money from the birds without spending much. And since a good hen can lay up to 200 eggs a year, your flock of chickens gift provides a steady source of nutrition and income.
All gifts to Heifer International are tax deductible. A portion of donations are used to raise awareness about the issues of hunger and poverty through education.
