In upper Egypt, 75% of families living in extreme poverty face a daily struggle and chronic food insecurity. Mothers are the main providers in many of these families. Farming and agriculture can help generate income, but without resources, that could prove difficult.
Through HANDS’ micro-farming program, animals and vital starter supplies give these mothers a solid foundation to build an income generating business. A flock of chicks took Doaa (one beneficiary) from, in her words, “struggling to survive, to building a brighter future.” After gradually expanding her micro-farm through this program, she now can inspire more families to break free from poverty. In just a few months, your generosity can help turn hunger into harvest, despair into dignity, and hardship into hope. Photo credit HANDS
