WhenJanet lost her husband, the responsibility for caring for her two children in Gangama Village fell fully on her shoulders, reported Pastor Rogers.

She tried to cope for a while, but eventually could not continue to feed her family because of the country’s “galloping inflation” that hit the nation and had no income coming in.

“With no one to help, the kids stopped attending school because she could not pay the bills,” he told us. “She resorted to helping her late husband’s family members with their own farmwork just to keep herself and her kids alive.”

She found solace in her small Christian congregation which assisted her with food for her children, which she knew was not a sustainable solution.

But all that trauma was before FHAP staff members were made aware of Janet’s dire situation, traveled to her village and registered her for the program.

She began immediately benefiting greatly from the training, tools and materials she received, telling us, “I implemented the new farming skills I learnt during the training and it helped improve the yield.

“My groundnut and potato crops did well, and I have been able to raise money to send my kids back to school this year.”

She commented that her inlaws “are surprised at our improved conditions of living with my children.”

In addition, Janet expressed her profound gratitude to the supporters of Bread and Water for Africa® and thanked FHAP staff for including her in the project.

 “God has done it for us.”…
