Relief for a poverty striken village in Zambia
In the North West province of Zambia, in the community of Kamiba, approximately 1000 people (surrounding area) are living on about $8.00 per month – 25 cents a day! That is extreme, if not critical poverty!
From January through March things become increasingly difficult and the little food many of them have runs out. They are forced to leave their own gardens to find work some other place. This means there is no one to plant the crops needed to sustain them for the balance of the year. Relief food is needed during the months of scarcity so these villagers will not have to leave their own gardens. They will be able to focus on planting and raising enough from their own garden so that soon they’ll be able to provide for themselves.
