The situation is dire. Please help us ship 280,000 servings of fortified rice to Eswatini (Swazi).

$9,000 goal

As COVID-19 spreads across the world, impoverished countries are being hit the hardest. Normal food supply chains are interrupted or broken, and malnutrition and starvation have become imminent threats. 

Our partners in Eswatini (Swaziland) have delivered hundreds of food boxes to the most vulnerable children and families we serve since the country began their lockdown - but those supplies will run out at the end of May. As they work to find new local sources for meals, it is vital that we ship a food container from the USA to Africa.

A single container like this one will hold 280,000 servings of rice - fortified with vitamins and minerals. This food will be distributed to the children and families most in need at our Anchor Center carepoint - and other care points in rural Nsoko. But first - we have to pay to ship it.

$9,000 will get this food into the hands of those who need it most. This breaks down to just 3 cents per serving! For only 3 pennies, you could feed a hungry child a warm meal. 

These are trying times for all of us - but surely we can spare a few cents? Let's stand together to be certain that these precious children don't go hungry. Not on our watch.
