Food Security for Hungry Families in Zambia

Organization information

African Artists Community Development Project, Inc.

Location: West Tisbury, United States of America

Summary

We are helping families to grow their own food. We work within a community of families with children with disabilities in Livingstone, Zambia. The economic situation there is desperate. The cost of food has risen to such heights that many cannot afford to buy even the staple cornmeal. In 2020, when the pandemic crisis compounded the already dire situation, we began a monthly distribution of staple food items to these families. In 2021 we started a communal farm.
