		Heifer's Passing on the Gift program requires recipients to share the offspring of their animals as well as resources and skills with other farmers, creating an ever-expanding network of self-reliance.
		And now, more than 60 years later, Heifer has expanded its mission, continuing to innovate and improve, just as it has expanded to the more than 25 types of animals it now provides--from goats and geese to bees, silkworms and water buffalo, even tree seedlings to improve the environment and combat erosion.
		A cornerstone of Heifer's philosophy is "Passing on the Gift." Each family Heifer assists agrees to provide offspring of their animals to other families in need, multiplying the impact of every income-producing animal donated by Heifer.
