KATHRYN EYE MEMORIAL CONGO ENDOWMENT
Established in 2000 with a gift from Dorothy L. Ordwein of Lusby, Missouri who said "The situation in Africa is so very disturbing…" Like so many of our donors, she wanted to do something to alleviate, to some degree, the suffering. Kathryn Eye, in whose name the gift was made, served as a missionary in the Belgian Congo in the 1940's and 1950's.
Heifer's Africa projects are as varied as the languages, religions and customs of that vast continent. From working with the victims of the AIDS pandemic, especially orphans, to micro-enterprise (helping families to build small businesses), Heifer brings hope to the hopeless from Cameroon to Zambia. New country programs are thriving in Africa, thanks in great part to our generous donors. Just this past year in Rwanda, for example, the first generation of "pass-ons" was exchanged between families who were once enemies. Heifer Ghana is another new and stable program whose project work has gained a high profile because of a vaccination campaign led by Heifer Ghana project partners that reduced mortality rates for poultry across the country. While the Heifer Africa Program is synonymous with challenge, it is also synonymous with hope.
To help keep the hope alive in Africa, please give today.
