Dear Donor,
Thank you for your past support of the moringa project. It has been a good project that has consistently grown. Trees just do that which is why its such a strong program. The issue we consistently have that is most frustrating is in buying the powdered moringa from the women's groups to provide to the preschools where moringa does not grow well.
While we thought moringa would grow everywhere in Kenya, the Rift Vally can have cooler weather and moringa loves the hot humid climate around Lake Victoria and in Ghana, in general.
The greatest need is to serve the preschool children of the Kipsongo Slums where malnutrition is palpable and moringa doesn't do that well. When we provided them with powdered moringa from the woman's group through your donation, the children were thriving.
A small monthly donation will mean a world of good. Please consider a one time or monthly donation to pay the women who grow and powder the moringa. Children with malnutrition need nutrition at this young age to grow and thrive.
Thank you!
Shana
