Keep her in school

Hunger can affect every part of a child’s life. When families struggle to produce or afford enough food, children may experience poor nutrition, difficulty concentrating at school, and increased household vulnerability.

At F SSIBU Mission Foundation, we are strengthening family farming as part of our broader commitment to protecting and nurturing vulnerable children. We help families learn improved agricultural practices and, where possible, provide seeds and other basic support that can help them establish productive gardens.

Our approach emphasizes practical knowledge. Families learn about crop selection, planting, soil fertility, garden maintenance, harvesting, food preservation, and responsible use of farm resources. We also encourage household gardens that can provide vegetables for daily meals.

Girls participate in these activities because food security is closely connected to their wellbeing and future. We want girls to acquire practical skills that they can carry into adulthood and use to support their own households.

Continued donor investment can enable us to reach more families with quality seeds, training, demonstrations, and agricultural follow-up. It can also help us connect farming with poultry and other livelihood activities that diversify household income.

Every successful family garden can make a meaningful difference. A harvest can provide meals, reduce food expenses, create surplus for sale, and give parents greater ability to meet children’s basic needs.

By supporting family farming, donors are not simply supporting agriculture. They are helping families create a stronger foundation for children to grow, learn, and remain hopeful.

Together, we can help families move from hunger toward greater food security and resilience.

Dear donor,

We want the girls we serve to grow up with choices. For many young women in rural communities, agriculture can become an important pathway toward economic independence when they have access to skills, resources, mentorship, and opportunities.

F SSIBU Mission Foundation is helping girls understand how small-scale farming can be connected to entrepreneurship. Rather than teaching farming only as a household responsibility, we introduce girls to production planning, budgeting, record keeping, market awareness, poultry management, vegetable growing, and the sale of surplus produce.

Families are included because a girl’s success is stronger when the household understands and supports her participation. Through family-based agricultural education, we encourage parents and caregivers to recognize girls as capable contributors, decision-makers, and future entrepreneurs.

We also support families with practical agricultural inputs where resources permit, including improved seeds and farming guidance. This helps create opportunities for girls to practice the skills they learn.

Donors can help us expand this work through training materials, seeds, poultry starter projects, farming tools, demonstration gardens, mentorship, and market-oriented skills development.

The goal is not simply to teach a girl how to plant a seed. It is to help her understand how that seed can become food, income, confidence, and an opportunity to build a better future.

When girls gain practical economic skills, families become stronger and communities gain young women who can contribute to sustainable development.

Your support can help us give girls the tools to grow their own opportunities.
