Did you know that between supply chain interruptions due to the coronavirus pandemic + disruptions to the global food supply due to the war in Ukraine, the world is experiencing a global food shortage? With the effects of climate change, this will likely get worse for most developing nations.
Corn is a critical crop in Tanzanian life, and at Amani Children’s Home. Corn makes up nearly 80% of the children’s diet & is the most accessible source of carbohydrates. Most of the corn produced in Tanzania is exported to Kenya and other parts of Africa. This can cause high prices for Tanzanians.
Right now corn supplies are low all around in Africa! Demand is higher and last year a lack of rains and poor harvest means this year’s crop will be smaller. Amani's working hard to plan ahead and build sustainable stocks of food stores to guarantee healthy diets for all of our children! Learn more about our work!
