Tumaini Hand Missions works to alleviate hunger and improve food supply through integrated community-based programs. Working with Church partners and local organizations, we empower people to live healthier, more productive lives.

In underserved areas, we collaborate with community members to expand food access and availability. By helping people identify their own unique resources, knowledge and skills, our efforts create long-term agricultural strategies that will help families feed themselves while protecting the environment. These locally developed programs address the specific context of hunger and have a wider impact on the health and economic well-being of the community.

Your support helps us fight poverty and increase self-sufficiency by:

• Providing tools, seeds and training to support small-scale and family farms
• Giving families and communities healthy animals to help generate other forms of income
• Improving nutrition and diversifying the types of crops that families grow, sell and eat
• Training farmers in agricultural techniques that increase overall food production
• Helping communities embrace sustainable agriculture and environmentally sound practices that improve soil quality and help crops flourish.

We have the tools to end child hunger in our country and counties: Strong child feeding programs provide an immediate and direct way to reduce child hunger and improve health and education outcomes.

Programs such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), school breakfast and lunch programs, and preschool and after-school meal programs are vital in providing children the food they need for healthy development.

Child feeding programs could do far more to reduce hunger simply by giving more children access to them.
