FOOD. HEALTH. OPPORTUNITY.


Dear Valued Partner:

     First, we sincerely hope that you are well. 

    Thank you for making a difference to women's community groups in rural Kenya, East Africa. Because of your support, this program Seedlings and Soap now provides kitchen gardens for 5,000+ mothers and 15,000+ children. It's a group effort!

     East African Children's Fund provides seeds, skills and small toools to women's groups to grow seedlings on community plots. The seedlings are then transferred to mothers to grow food at their homes. Kitchen gardens ensure that children get vitamins and nutrients for proper growth. One mother, Rosalia, reports "I am the bread winner in a household of 5. I never had a kitchen garden before. I planted tomatoes, kales and spinach. My family was able to eat these foods and I also sold some to raise some money." Thank you for making a difference to families like Rosalia's. 

      There are many inspiring organizations so we’re humbled and grateful for your past support. Thank you! Wishing you continued good health.  

With gratitude,

East African Children’s Fund

P.S.: 100% Direct Giving: 100% of your donations supported farming programs for school children and women's community groups in rural East Africa.
