Earlier this month, farmers at Mziza began harvesting maize from the river banks. As we had hoped, this maize arrives in time to stave off hunger during the leanest months of the year. It's hard for us to image just what it means to a farmer's family to harvest at this time. But if they can go through these months without skipping a meal, they have achieved something great in their lives. It is the first step in assuring food security and good nutrition to this community throughout 2014.
