Heifer International Supports Women Farmers in Nepal

As the director of sales for Abbott Laboratories, experienced sales executive Zariq Siddiqui handles analytics and operations for a company that generates more than $22 billion dollars in annual revenue. In addition to this executive role, Zariq Siddiqui supports several charitable organizations serving the world’s most vulnerable people. He is a long-time patron of the international nongovernmental organization Heifer International.

Heifer International leads efforts across the developing world that alleviate poverty through sustainable economic development, education, and nutrition programs. The organization organizes four programs in the Central Asian nation of Nepal that support local farmers. Many of these programs focus on empowering local women to raise livestock, participate in the local economy, and earn the capital they need to educate and care for their children. 

Heifer International supports the work of on-the-ground cooperatives and community organizations to pool technological resources, share sustainable agricultural methods, and create a strong sense of community. Participants also learn about concepts that are key to developing small-scale businesses, such as micro-lending and product marketing.
