Thank you for supporting the Moringa Tree Project in the past. It’s been a program that has had its ups and downs. It all depends on climate and farmers as to the success of the moringa tree. Relatively drought resistant, we have had long stretches of draught that took its toll. This is life in programs that planted nurseries without irrigation. We recognize the ebb and flow but support the flow as we are able.
All and all, the moringa trees maintaining and proving that nutrition is key for hunger. The importance of our immune systems and a balanced diet during a pandemic cannot be stressed too much.
The staple in diets is corn. A child may only eat corn porridge morning noon and night. Their diet is sorely lacking in protein which is key for growth and development. Moringa has all the amino acids needed for growth and it can be grown as a crop because it is just the leaves that are used. The seeds and pods are used but if a tree goes to seed, it impacts the leaf growth.
Again, thanks for your help in planting more trees and providing nutrition Even if you can only donate $10 a month, we will be certain to use your donation for the most vulnerable communities who have embraced the miracle moringa tree.
