Malawi experienced a nation-wide hunger crisis that created a desperate need for help. All Hands attempted to partner with the local Muona Foundation to provide 5 kg of maize seeds each to 500 families in the Nsanje district of Malawi. This project would have been able to keep people from experiencing the effects of cyclical hunger, malnutrition and debt.
Unfortunately, as can happen with any project that relies solely on funding from donors, support was scarce and we were unable to meet our goal and carry out the project. Without the proper attention from national and international media many of these issues throughout the world go unnoticed and the people most in need fall through the cracks. Our project on Global Giving attempted to highlight the major need that exists in this area but we were unable to reach our goal.
While our efforts with the Muona Foundation were unsuccessful due to lack of funding in the amount of time we were given, we hope to make a difference in the future and assist the vulnerable victims of hunger in the world. We thank all those who donated and continue to support our organization and mission.
