Dear Valued Partner:
Thank you for making a difference to school children in Kenya! With your support, more children will eat a healthy home-grown school meal. Children who eat lunch can engage fully in learning instead of thinking about feeling hungry.
You made it possible to expand the school garden program to 4 additional local schools in Meru County. More than 750 children in total attend these 4 schools. With your help, these schools are growing biofortified beans which contain extra iron and zinc to prevent anemia and micro-nutrient deficiencies. Each school is also growing a variety of nutrient-dense vegetables: kales, tomatoes, spinach and more. Healthy children perform better in school which influences future life outcomes.
We remain sincerely grateful for your support!

Our partner communities in Kenya are struggling through an historic drought, coupled with the negative impacts of COVID and the war in Ukraine. As food prices for staple foods continue to rise, we're working to expand production at the school farms. This includes continued investment in climate smart irrigation solutions.
This week the development community, including UNICEF and GAIN, released research showing that 50% of children and 75% of women worldwide suffer micronutrient deficiencies. These rates are even higher for children in Kenya. Deficiencies in important micronutrients compromise immune systems and hinder children's growth and development, including school performance. Our solution, with your support, is to grow nutrient dense fruits and vegetables for school meals. Your investment in this school farming program ensures that children at our partner schools remain healthy and able to thrive and learn. Thank you!
With sincere gratitude,

Dear Valued Partner:
Thank you for making a difference to children at 3 boarding schools in rural Kenya with healthy school meals! You made it possible to grow nutrient dense fruits and vegetables at the school demonstration gardens and at 4 off-site farms. These fruits and vegetables boost the nutritional value of school meals, keeping children engaged in learning. We’re proud to report that students continued to place in the top quartile on national test exams.
Both COVID-19 and now the war in Ukraine have led to increased food prices world wide. We are grateful for your support enabling our partner to grow food to feed almost 1,000 children.
Thank you!
