The excitement surrounding the 2026 maize and groundnut harvest may seem exaggerated or overpraised to some, but for the communities we serve, it is nothing short of a blessing and a powerful symbol of hope.
Not long ago, these same communities endured a severe drought that led to hunger, malnutrition in children, and the loss of both crops and livestock. This drought led to many families having to look for alternative food sources, like collecting caterpillars and incorporating them into their meals.
Today, things look different. With an early and abundant harvest this year, hope has returned. Our Field of Hope workers are actively harvesting and shelling maize, which is then shared with both workers and members of the community.
This plentiful harvest provides them with better food security and brings hope to our people – hope from a seed you provided them with. To our generous supporters, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your continued support allows our Field of Hope to truly live up to its name.
In gratitude and hope for your support.
