2016 is off to a great start for our partner communities in eastern Congo. We have now expanded to 3 additional villages, and a fourth is in the works. We are currently partnering with close to 200 households!
This expansion happened through organic, village-to-village collaboration. The village of Bunzi has been sharing their success stories with their neighbors, encouraging them to take on the same program that has changed their lives. Spring is a time of planting for our partners and they are collectively cultivating 15 hectares of crops. That equates to about 20 football fields!
They are planting cabbage, tomato, eggplant and corn, all of which will be harvested in the summer and sold at the local market!
Keep an eye out for the next report for updates from the harvest and how families are able to invest earnings into education, health, and business development!
