Feeding Fish to Feed Vulnerable School Children

By Lisa Peracchio | Project Coordinator

Harvesting Moringa

FOOD. HEALTH. OPPORTUNITY.

Dear Valued Partner:

Thanks for supporting our fish farming project in Kenya to feed almost 1,000 vulnerable school children across two schools! The success of this project is due to you.

Your recent donations have been applied to growing crops for fish feeds. Fish feeds are not readily available for purchase in Kenya. Being entrepreneurial, our partner in Kenya makes their own feeds for their ponds! The crops for the feeds include moringa, maize stalks, and sunflower seeds. These inputs and others are ground into a flour which is then formed into fish pellets. Our partner is looking to increase production of fish pellets so that they can be sold to other small-scale fish farmers. These sales will generate small revenues for the schools.

Thank you for making a difference to the communities we partner alongside. Your donations, in any amount, move us forward and are appreciated! Thanks for your consideration!

With gratitude,

East African Children’s Fund
