As the organization approaches its 80th anniversary, Heifer Internationals CEO Surita Sandosham emphasizes the importance of serving the present in ways that fit the times. In a Feature Session titled Conversation with the CEO of Heifer International, Sandosham spoke about the importance of building friendships and how Heifer International adds value to the community.

In many cases, the organization is seeking to help women who are farmers (often the husbands have left for other countries to look for work) who are struggling within the confines of a patriarchal society. The solution is often to help establish cooperatives so that women can create support structures to move beyond subsistence farming to a core life that includes schooling for their children, health care solutions, and sustainable livelihoods.

Heifer International has 970 staff worldwide, 200 of whom are based in the US. Staff are distributed in ways that make their work temporary, as they participate in creating structures that rely on local leadership. And, she pointed out, the model does not work in every country where we work. So flexibility is key.

She reported that 780 million people still go to bed hungry. A single cow cannot eradicate hunger, so partnership with governments and other non-governmental organizations is essential. What value can we add? she asked, wondering what the other feet were doing on the ground.

Berit Kimrey, one of those American workers based in Little Rock, Ark., said the workforce is very dedicated. Personally, she said, I work with churches all over the United States. I grew up with the Read to Feed program. This is very special to me personally, Kimrey continued, Let's make the world better.

In the United States, Sandosham noted, agriculture often skips a generation. As a result, Kimrey said, Heifer International has created a variety of YouTube videos that help teach the essentials to new farmers. Many of these videos have gone viral.

Sandosham has been CEO of Heifer International for less than two years, so she's still learning. It's important to honor the past, she said, but first you have to recognize it. Besides, she said, you have to respect the people in the places you oversee. We are trying to have a systematic approach to agricultural issues.

Some things are beyond their control, especially the effects of climate change which have the most negative impact on the poorest regions of the earth. This requires a real change in mindset, Sandosham said.

In the midst of all this, she emphasizes Heifers' important slogan: Locally Led, Globally Connected.
