Heifer
International Tanzania (HITZ) is a registered NGO in Tanzania affiliated with
Heifer Project International in the United States of America (USA). Heifer International's mission is to work with
communities to end world hunger and poverty and to care for the earth.
HITZ implements
programs and projects using a sustainable livelihoods approach in supporting
diverse, socially acceptable and economically viable, integrated, livestock
farming enterprises portfolios that enable resource-poor farm families to build
resilience and sustainable livelihoods to overcome abject poverty.
Passing on the gift is fundamental to Heifer International’s
approach to sustainable development. As people share the offspring of their
animals and other resources with successive households, they replicate their
own knowledge, resources and skills by creating and replicating a continuously
expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance around the world.
HITz started working in Tanzania in 1974 and was
officially registered as an INGO in 1981. HITz has been working in all 30
regions of Tanzania. Currently there are 7 on-going projects. Heifer International Tanzania works together with VSF-Belgium on the livestock component of the Maisha Bora
programme and is responsible for the execution of Result field 2: “Improve productivity
and quality of animals”.
