Offering a space for those with surplus to exercise their generosity by providing food and clean water to those living in deficit.
Since Christmas, 2020, we have sent funds monthly to provide food to an ever=growing group of Zambian families, trying to cut into the starving population as identified by their score on the Global Hunger Index. Early on it became clear that clean water was also a significant problem throughout our coverage area, so we began to regularly attempt clean water projects.
Currently partnering with another non-profit to provide agronomic training to thousands of destitute farmers throughout our distribution system.
One amazing discovery: even our early, mostly ineffective, attempts at development work cycled right back into growth in our relief work!

Zambia Harvest 2026
For the last four years, we have raised funds this time of year so that we could purchase as much of the Zambian maize harvest as possible. We start our acquisitions with the small rural farmers for whom we provided inputs at planting time, extend to the communities surrounding those growers, and ultimately find it where we can as close to our distribution communities as possible. Then that maize is stored - currently at 110 communities spread throughout seven geographical regions - to be allocated to vulnerable community members over the twelve months that follow. Last year we purchased around 500,000 kg for around $138,000. We would love to do more in 2026.
