In times of economic crisis and with
underprivileged families finding it increasingly hard to put food on the table
it is crucial that we reach out to support those in need.
As part of our “Crops That Yield” program we aim to
provide needy families and individuals with the tools to achieve food security
and self-sufficiency.
In line with this, we distributed various plants and seeds as well as
organic substances to 300 farmers in Akkar. Our distribution took place in 5
areas in Akkar: Bebnine, Wadi Jamous, Qarqaf, Jdaideh and Berkayel.
These farmers have gardens that with our support they can plant in and
ultimately the produce will give them part of their daily consumption.
We provided them with plants of the lettuce, cauliflower, cabbage and
chard variety as well as seeds of the parsley, radish, and spinach variety. We
also provided them with organic substances to encourage them to farm within
organic standards free from pesticides which we will then follow up on.
Thanks to our hardworking team and our generous donors we hope to
continue supporting these communities in ending hunger and poverty.
