We’ve received many phone calls from people in the Lasikri saying they haven’t eaten, and before anything else to please send food.
We sent another MoneyGram today and distributed rice, beans, and vegetable oil to 60 families to take home and cook. Enel told me about his experience on What’s App, “We intended to walk with a wheelbarrow to each family to deliver the food but when they saw us coming, people started shouting to everyone to “Hurry, food, hurry food or you won’t get any!” So we set up a line in the nursery and let people come to us according to our registry. Thanks to the reforestation project, Lasikri had a registry of all the families in the village. The Treetracker App by Greenstand not only tracks trees but geotags each farmer at their home as well.
To feed a family for one month until they are able to work again = $150
