Dear Donors,
We are excited to announce a new moringa project for Community Initiatives for Rural Development (CIFORD) in Kenya. As huge fans of the miracle moringa - a nutritional powerhouse, we try to set up in areas where there is malnutrition and where the Moringa tree can add to the livelihood of the community.
This community program is rooted in agriculture, however, the dry region requires that the seedlings have sufficient care in their first few months. The best way to ensure their survival is to provide children with the task of making sure they survive to grow into trees. We recently provided 150 seedlings and tree management trainings to school children of Kamanoto Junio Academy in the dry region of Tigania West. These saplings will eventually be nursed by local women's enterprises who will be able to benefit from the tree yields.
We will buy the dried moringa to provide to a feeding program for 400 preschool children.
Thank you for your support.
Regards,
Shana.
