Improving Agriculture where it’s helpful…

Time for Better Agriculture

Just by improving the agricultural know-how of an area, do you realize that we could greatly reduce hunger and food scarcity for that community?

Food, we take it for granted in the United States. Yes, we have our own problems with homelessness and not having enough, but we do have food here. In many countries there truly is not enough to go around. In Kenya for example, I have watched first hand a 10 year old child carrying a baby on their hip, while holding the hand of a 2 year, ravaging through the Kibera Slums looking for something for them to eat. This is so heartbreaking to see but yet it happens everywhere. Whether it is making connections with food banks here in the US or helping to connect third world countries with organization that can help, we want to make a difference.

On one of my earlier adventures, we were asked to meet with a widows group. They had a simple request, would we help fund a widow’s project that they could leave to their kids when they were gone. Many had become HIV/AID positive and knew their kids would be orphaned. They asked to help start a chicken project, a milk project, a bread making project, a sewing project, etc. These were things that they knew that if they started, the kids would always have food to trade with or sell and the sewing project would afford them uniforms for school. The money was not much to get these started and to see where it took these kids was amazing. God does provide.
