Dear Donor,
We are happy to announce that the Kar Geno Women's Group "Center for Hope" had a bumper crop of moringa in Kenya this year. They have harvested and dried the leaves to provide nutrition for children in poverty. We are so impressed with the women's hard work and determination to work together as a coop. They laboriously picked, dried and ground the leaves with a mortor and pestle to provide a first rate protein as a supplement that can be added to the food of children with malnutrition.
So, why is this a dilemma? You have supported the planting of moringa trees because its of its tremendous value. With this bumper crop, we are experiencing a harvest that we will need help in distributing to those with the most need.
We believe in sustainability with all of our projects which most importantly means for the farmers to become self sufficient. This is where we ask for your help in buying moringa from the women's groups. There is no question that children who are chronically malnurished do not have the same opportunity to develop to their fullest. Believing in the immense potential of all peoplewill lead to self sufficiency through each and every child provided with the nutrition to grow and thrive.
If you would like to contribute to an ongoing subscription or perhaps another one time donation, we will make sure that the women continue to be encouraged to grow the moringa and the children who need the nutrition will have access to it.
Thank you,
Shana Greene
