First Harvest Shared Across the Community This month, we celebrated our very first harvest! Students and caregivers gathered to pick fresh vegetables from the school and orphanage gardens, and together they prepared a meal that was enjoyed by everyone. For many children, it was the first time they tasted food they had helped plant and grow themselves — and the pride on their faces said it all. Beyond the orphanage and school, families in the community have also begun sharing their first small harvests with neighbors. This spirit of generosity is at the heart of our vision. Not only are we seeing improved nutrition, but also stronger connections between families who are working side by side to grow food and hope for the future.
Community Training Workshops Launched After the initial success of the orphanage and school gardens, we expanded into the surrounding community with our first round of training workshops. Families gathered to learn practical gardening skills such as crop rotation, composting, and natural pest management. Each participant received a starter seed kit, and many have already begun planting in their own yards. The workshops have created a wonderful sense of momentum. Parents shared stories of their children coming home from school eager to help water or check on the plants. Several families who had previously depended on purchasing most of their food are now excited to grow part of their meals right outside their doors.
First Gardens Planted at the Orphanage and School We’re excited to share that the very first gardens at both the orphanage and the school are officially planted! Raised beds have been built, the soil has been enriched with compost, and rows of vegetables — including tomatoes, peppers, beans, and leafy greens — are already beginning to sprout. Children and caregivers joined in the planting, making the process not only productive but also an opportunity to learn together. Teachers have begun weaving the garden into their lessons, giving students hands-on science experiences and reinforcing the importance of healthy eating. Already, the excitement among the children is contagious. They can’t wait to watch their plants grow and taste the first harvest.

Through this fund, we cover tuition, materials, and essential expenses. Every gift makes higher education possible for young adults who otherwise would not have access to it. Give to the Fund

Supporting Families Through Reunification Care The Reunification Care Support project provides critical assistance to children as they transition from the orphanage back into family care.

Becoming a sponsor is a personal way to make a lasting impact. Your partnership helps break the cycle of poverty and gives children the chance to dream big and pursue brighter futures. Every sponsorship makes a real difference in their lives. Sponsor a Child
