High altitude hunger

Kitchen Gardeners International (KGI) is helping many people and groups around the world and we’ll be using the CrushHunger blog to share some of their stories. One of the groups we supported with a minigrant is Gargy Shiksha Sadan near Kathmandu, Nepal. In this cold region with mainly yak farming and little fertile land, most of the people suffer from malnutrition. The Gargy Shiksha Sadan kitchen garden program was launched to improve the health of the community. The two women shown are working in their new cauliflower field. Your donation to KGI between now and November 6th will help us leverage a $50,000 grant from the Case Foundation which we’ll use to help more groups to become more self-reliant in their food production. You can make this grant happen by donating as little as $10 and encouraging your friends to do the same. Thanks.
