Our Impact
Partnering with Farmers to Reimagine Africa’s Food Systems
For more than 50 years, Heifer Africa has worked alongside farming families to make agriculture a source of dignity and income while building resilience. What began with the gift of livestock has grown into work across Africa, rooted in farmer knowledge and regenerative practices, and strengthened by partnerships.
Across regions from the Sahel to the Rift Valley, we work with farmers, governments, innovators and funders on lasting solutions that strengthen rural livelihoods and food systems.
Our aim is for every farming family to earn a living income and to lead change in their community.

“A heavy flood wiped out my entire rice field in 2021. But I had signed up for the insurance scheme through Heifer. That support helped me bounce back. Today, I manage 15 hectares.”
Felicia Gbukka, Rice Farmer, Nigeria
A Story Still Being Written
Heifer Africa’s impact goes beyond hectares and headcounts. It can be seen in the confidence of a woman leading a cooperative, the agency of farmer associations, the innovation of a youth-led agri-tech startup and the dignity of a family feeding their community.
