Hunger was a horrific reality for Sandra. Like so many other kids growing up in sub-Saharan Africa, she was lucky to eat once a day. But, thanks to thousands of amazing Kiwis like you, she wasn't alone.
You refused to stand by and watch the hunger pandemic happen. The funds you raised through the World Vision 40 Hour Famine are putting food on the table for children who go entire days without eating. We can't thank you enough!
In Sandra's community, you've made it possible to create a community garden that is almost as big as two soccer fields! Sandra is one of over 5,542 people already benefiting from a new community garden, thanks to you! "The community is really very happy and committed to maintaining this garden," says Paul, a local leader. "The beans are growing very quickly despite the drought. We expect to harvest at least 600 kilograms to distribute among the community."
