Give Fruit and a Greener Environment (South Sudan)

Thanks for your continued gift to give fruits in South Sudan.
Your continued support together with donations from other sources helped a project to buy 20 avocado seedlings, 15 yellow banana seedlings, and 50 passion fruit seedlings. Hope Ofiriha distributes these seedlings to the village families who are interested to plant fruit trees to provide nutritious food and boost a local economy in the future. Hope Ofiriha has not delivered the seeds due to insecurity concern in Magwi County. We are recommencing an operation in earlier April to supply the beneficiaries with the seedlings.

Hope Ofiriha will send a new field update after a quarter, so you get to know the progress your gift is impacting from the ground.
