Khoyan lives with her husband and their school-aged children in Keur Pathe Malick, a small village of about 2,000.
Together in 2019, we have accomplished so much for the people of Senegal. In rural areas, where a majority of people live in poverty, we have been able to develop programs reaching tens of thousands of people. With your help, we hope to do even more in 2020.
I would like to introduce you to Khoyan. Khoyan lives with her husband and their school-aged children in Keur Pathe Malick, a small village of about 2,000. Here, they farm millet and peanuts during the short three-month rainy season. This food must last them throughout the rest of the year. When stocks run out, the family goes hungry.
Three years ago, the village of Keur Pathe Malick approved the installation of an Andando garden. With your help, a solar well was constructed and now water is available year-round for growing fresh, life-giving food!

“This garden allows me to support my family, to work to get out of poverty. What you did for my village has never been done before - thank you! ”
Because of their initiative, drive, and hard work shown in the garden, we were able to develop a deeper partnership with this community by also building a school and completing a health post that will serve thousands of people for years to come.
There are many more families like Khoyan’s; families that can thrive if just given access to water, education, and healthcare.

Today, I ask for your support so that we can continue bringing
these life-changing programs to the people of Senegal.
