11,000 people step away from chronic hunger


A reliable food supply is creating self-sufficiency and a way out of poverty. HOPE supporters are ensuring over 11,000 more people step away from chronic hunger by the end of this year. 

Garden tools, vegetable seeds, tree seedlings, fish fingerlings and training are creating significant increases in both the quality and quantity of food families grow. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, improvements in fingerling quality and fishpond management are yielding a 300% increase in fish harvests. 

Supporter generosity is helping families become self-sufficient:
  • 1,600 people are benefiting from 40 animal banks and 120 home gardens
  • 5,000 people are benefiting from agriculture and animal husbandry training, fishponds, gardens and fruit tree orchards
  • 4,800 people are benefiting from seeds, fruit tree seedlings, tools and training
Thank you for helping ensure families are able to step away from chronic hunger permanently.
