Fighting Malnutrition in 10 Villages of Nyanza

From the $ 1,102.77 we received after bank charges helped us to distribute 2,590 kgs of maize flour to 518 children from 518 families in Nyanza District. Each child received and took home one sack of 5kgs of maize flour.

A group of Dufatanye Organization staff conducted an assessment on 15/09/2022 in Villages of Hope Nyamagana, Nyabisindu and Kabisine to monitor how the beneficiaries taking care of our support including laying hens, vegetable seedlings, fruit trees and banana suckers. They found out that beneficiaries started eating eggs from the hens and harvesting the vegetables on their own. One of them called Christophe testified: "No malnutrition and malnourished related diseases? Life is good, May God bless our Dufatanye Organization and donors”.

The Dufatanye Organization staff once again sensitized beneficiaries to take good care of the support they have received and to be the first of its kind for their sustainable development.

Thank you for your support. Every dollar you provide makes a huge impact on saving the community from malnutrition and poverty.

On top of these, all beneficiaries of received 3 trainings on banana farming, fruit tree farming and chicken keeping, soil management, compost making, pests and disease control, climate change and saving. They were also supported with organic manure .We believe beyond any dought that, after one and half years, there will be no people going to bed on an empty stomach in these villages. The remaining work is make kitchen gardens for all the above mentioned households with more support coming in.

One lady in Kadusenyi bowed down and thanked God for using good people to support her family. She said, “we never thought of this happening to us, we used to see your truck passing here and asked ourselves the kind of sin we made for us not to be supported. I promise, even my grand children will benefit from this uplift God has provided”

It is through this that, we greatly thank GlobalGiving for being a good channel to link our donors with our underprivileged people in the rural areas. Dufatanye alone can’t fulfill its mission without special people like you.
