MATTHEW R. GIUFFRIDA FUND FOR AFRICA

Established in 2003 with the bequest of Matthew R. Giuffrida of St. Petersburg, Florida. Mr. Giuffrida was a former Heifer Project International board member. Heifer was only one of several charities to benefit from Mr. Giuffrida's generosity and concern for his fellow man.

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.

Help keep hope alive in Africa; give today.
