Summary

AFCA will provide daily food for six months to 400 orphan families suffering from food insecurity, giving them strength to receive training on how to grow food. This gives them a life skill.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Food insecurity is a big problem for most Zimbabweans, but it affects orphans even more. In the near past, the current government did not allow the import or distribution of food to Zimbabweans, while at the same time curtailing the provision of fertilizers for many years, effectively ruining crops and the supply of food. 400 orphan families will benefit from this project.

How will this project solve this problem?

Each orphan family will receive nutritious food, giving them strength to be trained so they can engage in a viable sustainable livelihood activity - growing food and raising animals to replace food distribution with sustainable livelihood.

Potential Long Term Impact

400 children and adults receive food and life-saving skills. This, in turn, will arrest the vicious cycle of hunger and food distribution year after year.

Project Message

Thank you so much for partnering with us in this life-skills/feeding program! We look forward to seeing many orphan families suceed and move forward to help themselves. This is truly life giving!
- Jean Webster, National Director
