Sustainable Food Project for Children in Kenya

Thank you for standing with us so that our families living below poverty line are able to graduate from poverty.

We are so happy to report that we are now having adequate water to sustain our produce at our community garden.  We have a total of 50 different beds and we are super excited that they are producing fresh organic food. The garden has enabled 13 women to get a job three days a week and has boasted the economic standard of our community through the buying and selling of our fresh produce.

We don't stop at that.  Our garden enables our kiddos at the orphanage to eat fresh organic vegetables and fruits. Because of the water well, we are able to produce vegetables year round.  This year we added a bean plantation that will be able to provide protein to the kids at our school and the orphanage.  We are happy report that we harvested the beans for the first round, giving as 200 kilograms of beans. Our kids are currently eating the beans that gives them protein for the medicine to work well with their bodies.

During leisure time, our kids also have time to learn more about gardening as we want them to grow up knowing where the food they are eating is coming from.  The garden also helps women working to have skills and knowledge of gardening so they can also implement it in their homes.

The team here at the American Foundation for Children with AIDS thanks you for supporting this project and the work we do for the children in Africa.  As you make decisions regarding your giving for the rest of the year, please keep us in mind so we can continue our good work through 2023 and beyond.  If you would like to learn even more about what we do or how you can meet some of the children you have helped, please contact Tanya Weaver at tweaver@AFCAids.org.
