In 2021 we reached over 12,000 individuals with our work, planting and supporting 40 family and community gardens, providing 1105 students with scholarships and educational support, training 60 older students as tutors and mentors within their communities, providing high-quality early childhood education to 151 3-5 year olds in 4 communities, increasing the income of artisans in our program by an average of $488, for example.
Our Nutrition and Health programs have provided many families at risk of malnutrition and health problems with monthly food support, access to tailored medical care, safe stoves and clean water filters, and sexual health education. All of this has helped families to stay healthy and increase their immune systems, reducing the risk of malnutrition and chronic health issues.
Through our Economic Development programs, we have provided vocational training opportunities and access to markets for products to many young people and artisan women, which has given them a stable income and allowed them to increase their job opportunities.
In 2019, we supported 1497 students’ education in our sponsorship program, provided 14,220 healthy meals to our preschool students, delivered 1133 food baskets to families at risk of malnutrition and gave work to 190 artisan women through selling their products.
