GAIA Programs—
Emergency Food Relief
A severe drought during the 2005 growing season continued to affect
food security through much of 2006.
At the end of 2005 GAIA launched a
food relief effort in an especially
hard-hit 37-village cluster. That
intervention continued, assisting over 1600 families
caring for orphans and home based
care patients.
GAIA also provided food
relief in other hot spots through
some of our partner community
based organizations.
One report of food relief said this:
"Children, no longer hungry, have
returned to school. The guardians who
care for children are now able to tend to their own gardens and are planting next year’s crop
instead of searching for piecework to buy food for the day. Home based care patients have
more energy, and people have stopped going into the bush to look for wild plants to eat, some of
which were poisonous and were making people sick."
