THAILAND ENDOWMENT
Established in 2003 with funds raised by the Thailand office staff and matched by Heifer Foundation.
Heifer Thailand has numerous current projects, including admirable work introducing a variety of animals into leper colonies. Recipients raise their self-image while raising cattle, buffalo, fish, poultry and feed, and subsequently their income and diet quality. Heifer has even introduced elephants into communities, and trained villagers in animal waste management and using kitchen gardens to improve food security. Heifer's primary work in Thailand is with tribal peoples in the northern mountains. Many had been forced to roam, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture until the soil was depleted. Heifer is teaching them how to build stable, integrated, sustainable farming systems. Villages have come alive with the clinking of cowbells. "Livestock has become the solution to our grief," says one Thailand project partner.
