Helping farmers is the solution to the hunger crisis. And what they need are irrigation pumps.

With irrigation, farmers can plant and harvest multiple cycles of high-value crops throughout the year—independent of the rains. If you have ever farmed or grown a garden, you know you can't rely on rain to be successful. Yet, more than 95% of rural farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa wait and pray for rain.

Your help is a game-changer.

Every $500 provides one farmer irrigation for their farm. Each farmer you help will:

- Grow enough to feed over 50 people in their community.

- Increase their profits from $150 to $850 in the first year, finally providing them with a sustainable livelihood.

- Hire another neighbor to help work on their farm, because production is more than they can handle!

But most of all, I hate that I feel helpless to change this. Where do I start? What difference can I make in a world so sated by it's own injustice?

Learning the truth can only get me so far. It only makes my guilt and anger grow. Guilt for what I was born; guilt for what my ancestors must have done. Is this my legacy as a white person? A fear of blind acceptance or inhumane action?

Your support creates good jobs for deserving dads so that they can give their children a better future!

We cannot forget the pride, dignity and purpose that comes with the opportunity to work. Because a job is so much more than a paycheck. It's the chance to put food on the table, send your kids to school, and invest in a brighter future.

Celebrate and support dads this Father's Day by joining our community of monthly givers, called The Collective, and together we will create a better world.
