PEACE ENDOWMENT FOR CAUCASUS REGION
Established in 2003 with funds raised by the Armenia office staff and matched by Heifer Foundation and designated for peace projects in the Caucasus Region.
The Caucasus Region derives its name from the Caucasus Mountains that separate it from Russia to the north. The Caucasus Region, focused on by the Central/Eastern Europe Program of Heifer, is composed of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia and is based in Yerevan, Armenia. The countries of the Caucasus Region have been in conflict for centuries. The components of the current project--placement of animals, establishment of 4H Clubs, and training in health, animal health and leadership--will increase income, nutrition and leadership skills for the participants. Exchanging pass-ons, and sharing instructors and "best practices" between countries, will foster a spirit of understanding and peace.
Contribute to a growing peace and prosperity in this troubled region, please give today.
