Dear Donor,
Since we first started the moringa project, we have distributed thousands of Moringa seedlings and used local trainers to conduct trainings for over 30 women’s groups in Western Kenya in areas of widespread malnutrition.
Within the Kar Geno Moringa Project, over 12,000 Moringa trees have been planted in Western Kenya covering almost 5 hectares that will be capable of producing 50kg of Moringa powder per month. The women’s group powder the leaves supplying Moringa powder to the Kipsongo Project serving the Kipsango Slums and through programs with Joshua Machinga of Common Ground for Africa (37kg).
With a large population of children living with Sickle Cell Anemia in Muhuru Bay, we set up the Sickle Cell Anemia Initiative with Mama Maria Clinic and Hospital in 2016. Over 30kg of Moringa powder is regularly supplied and our trainer, Raphine Onyango Muga, organized and trained parents of children with Sickle Cell Anemia in growing the “miracle” tree.
This is where we ask for your help. To buy the powdered moringa to provide to children who are malnourished, we need donations to keep this all going as a social enterprise for women's groups who support their families.
A one-time donation or subscribing as some of you have done is so helpful to keep the goodness flowing.
Thank for your support,
Shana
