HILLARD MOZAMBIQUE ENDOWMENT
Established in 2003 with a gift from the Hillard family of Rapid City, South Dakota. Carole Hillard belongs to the Heifer Foundation Board of Trustees. Additions to the endowment have been made in honor of Carole and also in memory of Elzeque Mueira, a staff member of Heifer Mozambique, tragically killed in a robbery attempt.
Current projects in Mozambique include introducing draft power to farmers; goat milk production and processing; and feeding and training orphans. There are women farmers' projects and a large goat re-stocking program in some of the country's "forgotten" districts which are hard to reach due to bad networks, roads and communications. As in all of Africa, one can see Heifer's commitment to agro-ecology, gender issues, education and so much more.
Where diets are not balanced and appropriate, Heifer is working to improve nutrition; where schools are beyond the reach of many children, Heifer is helping families earn extra income to pay for tuition and books; where erosion has rendered farmland all but useless, Heifer is providing trees and agricultural training to improve the soil.
To help keep hope alive in Mozambique, please give today.
