Briefly about Donor and Project

Heifer International began working in Cambodia in 1999, improving production and increasing incomes of smallholder farmers through backyard chickens, safe vegetables, while exploring opportunity in beef cattle value chains. To date, more than 35,000 families have been supported by Heifer Cambodia. Smallholder farmers in the country are organized into self-help groups (SHGs) and agricultural cooperatives (AC), enabling them to access new markets and finance to scale their agricultural businesses. SHGs receive various capacity building training as a part of Heifer International’s Values Based Holistic Community Development (VBHCD) model which is helping them to unleash their potentials. Protecting and regenerating the environment is central to Heifer Cambodia’s work. Projects at Heifer Cambodia are increasing food security, improving sanitation and hygiene, building agricultural skills and investment, and integrating Micro-Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) into inclusive agricultural market systems and value chains, while strengthening sustainable community development networks at the local and provincial levels.
