The segment will feature the story of a Ugandan woman, Beatrice Biira, whose life was changed when her family received a dairy goat from Heifer International. By selling the goat’s milk, Biira’s family could afford to send her to school for the first time. Today, she is a freshman on full scholarship at Connecticut College.
Members of the Elon community and the public are invited to this free event to learn more about Heifer International and its mission of promoting sustainable development and providing livestock to families and communities to become self-sufficient.
