Sorry all for the delayed report. I wrote it and then it zoomed off into never-neverland... so apologies all!
I wanted to reach out to thank you to each and every one of you for your support. We know times are tough, but food security is more important than ever. The children from the village of Sigagule who rely on Nourish for a warm meal come from vulnerable families... many of whom are even more vulnerable now during Covid-19. So THANK YOU, every meal you have made possible means the world to a child.
Without food, many families turn to other options, and as Nourish we stand by our belief in 'fighting poaching through fighting poverty'... the number of snares in the bush is increasing, which highlights for us how families in our area are struggling, with poverty, with hopelessness and with hunger.
The ability for children to come to our center for a warm meal, makes a difference in our community. The ability for us to provide fresh and healthy food to our creche children, is a positive for the parents of those children. We are here to support, to feed, to educate and to provide these children with the nutrition they need to be happy and healthy.
Every cent you have donated helps. It helps young children, it helps their siblings and older children. It helps their families. It helps resilience and in the long run it helps the wildlife communities.
THANK YOU for supporting our feeding program. More pics to follow in our next report as we have opened up again for 2021, and as schools resume, so more children come to our aftercare and reading program! We are finding ways to stay Covid-safe and still provide the support to the community that they need.
Till next time.
(and thank you Into My Wild Africa for the great pics of the grannies who work tirelessly over the open fire to cook for all the children!)
