In addition to serving in an executive position with Abbott Laboratories, Zariq Siddiqui gives to several charities. Among these, Zariq Siddiqui supports Heifer International, an agency that fights hunger by helping to create a sustainable economy, both around the world and in the United States.
Rather than simply shipping food, Heifer International donates cows to families in some 30 countries, with the goal of enabling recipients to rely on their own efforts. Cows and other farm animals provide food items for personal consumption or trade in a marketplace. Extending the reach of these advances, recipients pledge to give one of their neighbors their first female calf.
In the United States, Heifer International is involved in Appalachia and the Arkansas Delta, where poverty and hunger rates are higher than the national average. The program, known as Heifer USA, encourages small-scale farmers to band together for an improved position in the marketplace, enabling them to command higher prices.
Joining forces additionally provides producers with improved access to financial institutions previously unavailable to them. Grants, loans, and technical support for producers from Heifer USA also improve local economies.
