A Field Full of Hope

May 2026

Many people think first of beds, clothing, or school supplies when they hear about a children’s home. But a large part of our daily work revolves around something much more basic: making sure there is enough food for every child, every single day.

That is why we grow maize directly on the grounds of our children’s home. For many of the children, it is an important part of their daily meals. The harvest helps us reduce costs and become less dependent on food donations.

 

 

Since maize is harvested only once a year, the processing afterwards is especially important. In the picture, the maize is being sifted and prepared for storage. To keep it usable for many months, it has to be carefully checked and processed again and again. There is an incredible amount of work behind every single bag of maize.

Moments like these show that our work is not only about providing short-term help. It is about creating more stability, security, and independence for the children step by step. Every successful harvest means a little less worry about how the next meals will be provided.

Thank you to everyone who supports our children’s home and makes sustainable developments like this possible.
