FOOD SECURITY AND STABILIZATION

In the project outline of YAWOSUP, we intended to cover a range of volunteer activities for the less protected personalities in our society. Nyawara which is a village in our region of operation, falls majorly on the context of our vision. As highlighted in the initiation of this project with this just being a enforcer, issues to deal with hunger, starvation and poverty, does not fail to appear in every single line in YAWOSUP organization. We have taken pragmatic steps to ensure that we meet this challenges head-on in our every endevour.

Members of the organization have engaged themselves in relief food distribution among this vulnerable groups. Up to this level, the organization has made a commendable and noble commitment of ensuring that the beneficiaries acquire fertilizers and seeds for corn planting. The situations as it is right now seems not to be promising proper care and support between this planting season and the harvesting period, hence the need for external support.
The community, with corn being the staple food, needs to diversify into other areas of agriculture like horticulture which need professional, material and advisory support to curb this menace. Our decision on this issue lies on the fact the most horticultural products don't last long before they mature and ready for sale or perhaps consumption. It would be better,if we would have an alternate plan to make sure that even in the long period of corn maturity alternate food sources are available.

With all this realities and tasks surrounding us, we would greatly appreciate support of any nature ranging from material, advisory and technical/professional.


Regards,

YAWOSUP TEAM.
