Harvests in Hard Times

Training by ASAP is essential for success
Training by ASAP is essential for success

125 rural women are now able to harvest crops throughout the year in Zimbabwe, thanks to the home drip irrigation kits and training they have received through ASAP Africa. Nutritious fresh vegetables are being enjoyed, even now in August – four months into the cold, dry winter season! To state that these home drip irrigation kits have improved the quality of life is an understatement – they are actually a lifeline; a means for survival in a country that is experiencing unprecedented economic hardships. Please help strengthen this lifeline by contributing today.

The rains in Zimbabwe arrived in late November. Let's hope they continue and the country enjoys a bumper harvest in 2008. Inflation is now over 1,500% and life is increasingly difficult with each passing day. Please take the time to enjoy our newsletter and to contribute to this worthwhile project.
