“Making an Impact” Made Easy: Introducing GivFood.org

Posted on by Michelle Bueno

Making an Impact…

If you give someone a fish, you’ll feed them for a day. But if you teach someone to cultivate a fish pond, a home garden and a family business, you’ll give them a chance to feed themselves and their family for a lifetime. You also help them pay bills, put the kids through college and save for retirement. 

This is not just a wise proverb; This is a reality that we are experiencing in El Salvador. 

Over 500,000 people in El Salvador struggle with malnutrition and hunger every year. A home garden is the most effective way to eliminate these problems. In the past two years ENLACE has helped plant more than 350 home gardens, and we plan to help start at least 400 new home gardens next year! Your donation, no matter how small, helps ENLACE give training and supplies to church and community members all over El Salvador who desire to feed their families and generate income through home gardens and small businesses.
