| The Challenge | |
 |
120 families from three villages in Kenya suffer from food insecurity caused by dated farming skills & from malnutrition due to a lack of knowledge of nutrition & of home gardens in providing food diversity. These challenges reduce the ability for 300 children to attend school & for adults to lead the productive lives necessary for leaving the cycle of poverty & for contributing to long-term community development. |
| Help the 300 children of 120 families become well-nourished & healthy | |
 |
Contribute to a farmer field school program (farmer-to-farmer training) and a family garden and nutrition program for 120 families in Kenya’s impoverished Bunyala district. The program will help their 300 children become healthy and sufficiently nourished to attend & excel in school. 120 families will begin the rise out of poverty through leading healthy, productive lives. |
