#endingpovertytogether

I met Galgalo Waqo in Waye Godha, a village in Sololo, at Kenya's border with Ethiopia. He's lived a full life, from working as a farm hand in Githunguri when much younger, to leading a self help group in Sololo today. He doesn't just sit around waiting for age to catch up with him, but is quite active, encouraging neighbours and friends to form self help groups, save as little as Kshs20/- and put it in a pool where the money can be used to benefit members. It's not just lip service: his group has over Kshs200,000/- in the account and they plan to buy a boda boda to help them grow their savings. This is thanks to the training he's received from @food4thehungry #endingpovertytogether #FHKenya #Marsabit #Sololo #WayeGodha #african_portraits (at Sololo, Eastern, Kenya)

A mother holds her new born at a manyatta in North Horr, Marsabit. With no health facilities for miles and poor road infrastructure, @food4thehungry have been working with partners to take vaccines, immunisations and other medical services to people living in hard to reach corners of Marsabit. With their health in check, residents can concentrate on engaging in economic activities to keep poverty at bay. #endingpovertytogether #FHKenya #Marsabit #NorthHorr

#Repost @danielcwhite ・・・ What an honor it was to capture this moment when my friend @christomlin met his sponsor child Nayeli today w/ @food4thehungry in the Dominican Republic. It was such a sweet moment, as he was calm and comforting to her since she was soooo shy. He gave her a beautiful bracelet from his oldest daughter, which is the same age. I love what I get to do in life. It's moments like this when I definitely feel like I'm standing on holy ground. #dcwportraits #dcwtravel #dominicanrepublic #endingpovertytogether #foodforthehungry #worshipnightimamerica
