The economic impacts of the pandemic were extreme. Food prices tripled, supply chains were disrupted, and the opportunity to work was severely limited or eliminated altogether for many.  During 2020 and 2021, we were able to provide physical assistance in the form of food care packages to over 100 school and community families who were severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The care packages consisted of beans, rice, millet, sugar, nuts, salt, tea leaves, cooking oil, charcoal, matches, soap, greens from our school’s garden, and eggs from our school’s hens. The average household size of the families served was 6.5 and many of these families received multiple care packages, each package providing 3 to 4 weeks of food care supplies. As our staff delivered the care packages, there were many opportunities to talk and pray with these families, letting them know how much God cares for them and that they had not been forgotten. We know of at least one father who accepted Jesus Christ as his savior through these visits, and we are confident that many seeds were planted that God has and will cultivate over time.
