While navigating the challenges of these uncertain times, finding the opportunities for a healthy and sustainable diet has been a struggle for many of the families in Makindu. However, with the support of the Center and donors, all the children and guardians received relief food within the quarter!
The emergency relief food basket distribution is still in progress in Makindu, but is now being targeted towards the most vulnerable and impoverished households in the program. Being able to help all of these household with these baskets year-round is practically impossible, so the Center’s farm has become an instrumental part in the ability to nourish the children and guardians with healthy food. Volunteers and members of the community have helped in planting options such as avocados, kale, pawpaw, etc.
With these efforts, we have been able to provide meals for 140 children at the Center daily! These meals are not only great for nutritional purposes, but also allow for a time to check in with each of the children on their well-being. This project has shown an immensely enhanced health status in each and every one of the children!
Asante sana!
Thank you!
