OLIVIA CASBERG INDIA ENDOWMENT

Olivia Casberg

Established in 2003 with a gift from her daughter, Rev. Dr. Sylvia Casberg of Centennial, Colorado. Olivia Casberg and her husband were missionaries in India on two occasions. In fact, Sylvia writes, "Three generations of us Casbergs sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge headed for India in 1939." She adds, "Thank you for the wonderful work you do to improve people's lives around the world." When Mrs. Casberg died in 2003, the family asked that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the already established endowment, effectively continuing Mrs. Casberg's service to India.

Heifer International has worked in India on projects of Angora rabbit wool production, camels for economic development, goat and pig projects in both rural and urban areas and integrated livestock projects for rural women. Santi Pradhan, an Indian widow with five children, says, "Heifer is an honor for us here in the village...They have taught us how to live again and how we should care for our new animal...I love pass on the gift." One village woman bought equipment to start her own gem-cutting business, using money she earned by selling an offspring of her goat, an example of Heifer's micro-enterprise initiative. There is a current Nepal-India Friendship Project, providing the opportunity for Heifer Nepal and Heifer India staff and partners to visit and learn from each other.
