FEEDING FUTURES
The prevention or relief of poverty in communities reliant on subsistence farming in Kenya. We raise money for school communities to implement a unique programme for rural communities who are mobilised to learn sustainable farming methods. School meals are provided temporarily, as agro-ecology methods are used over a few years and they take responsibility to provide the food without external input
