Speakers

Last year we were joined by a representative from Heifer, a charity that aims to give everyone the life they deserve, free from hunger and poverty. Given the theme of this years’ conference and that they are the selected charity, it will be highly relevant to our aim and the topics that will be explored.

Charity

Heifer aims to give everyone the life they deserve, free from hunger and poverty. This aim is directly linked to the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 of the UN. By working together with local farming families and communities around the world, Heifer improves their food security and helps provide these people with nutritious food, shelter, clean water, adequate access to health care and a safe, secure environment. 

The Heifer approach allows poor farmers to eat and live from their land, paving the way for sustainable and resilient farming communities. Since 1999, Heifer International has influenced the lives of almost 31 million farming families. Despite the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, Heifer has continued to increase the incomes of struggling farming families through inspiring initiatives such as in Ecuador where farmers are now supplying food baskets directly to citizens with the help of Heifer.

Alongside our fruitful debates combating world hunger and poverty, we would like to take immediate action. Help us support them by donating!
