We can't thank our donors and supporters enough for the help on this project! All of the children and guardians received relief food support in the past quarter, feeding 320 households!
The nutritious food of maize, beans, rice and cooking oil that is provided in the food baskets help maintain balanced diets, which in turn helps maintain mental and physical health. Additionally, eggplant, kale, peppers, avocado, and tomatoes are planted in the Center's farm giving fresh produce options for the children and guardians. A few fruit trees have also been planted adding more variety and fresh produce for the kids. Seeds are one of the highest priorities for the Center, and the farmers and guardians are hopeful for a successful planting season this October and bountiful harvest in a few months.
The monthly food relief has been especially beneficial to this family. The elderly grandmother cares for 9 children in her 3 room home, 4 of the children live with HIV. She tries to eke out a living selling vegetables at the market, but it is never enough to feed all the children. Without the help of Makindu Children's Program and food supplied by Makindu Children's Center, these 9 children and their grandmother would be hungry, sick and malnourished. The ones with HIV might not even be alive.
Your donations are saving lives. Please continue to help us help these kids. Just 50 cents a day feeds a child!
Asante sana!
Thank you!
