CHINA COUNTRY ENDOWMENT

Established in 2000 with Heifer Foundation Matching Funds.

Despite having the second highest GDP in 2003 (behind the U.S.), on a per capita basis, China is still a poor country. Numerous issues plague different areas of the large country, for example, extreme flooding and typhoons in 1998, 1999 and 2002 lead to lost animals and thousands of acres of land. Environmental concerns are growing; it is estimated that one-fifth of the land used for agriculture has been lost since 1949 due to soil erosion and economic development. A myriad of Heifer projects in China are employing rabbits, goats, chickens, geese, ducks, cattle, fish and even silkworms. Many projects focus on Heifer's cross-initiative concerns like agro-ecology, sustainability and gender equity.

To ensure the valuable work of Heifer in China continues; please give today.
