At Strong Harvest, we understand that poverty is more than just a lack of resources – it’s a web of challenges, from insufficient nutrition and clean water to limited opportunities and time. Millions of families worldwide face the daily struggle of surviving without the tools to thrive.
Yet, we’ve seen how sustainable, community-driven solutions can break this cycle and transform lives. This year, our generous donors have empowered families to grow nutritious food, improve their health, and create economic opportunities. Together, we are turning the tide on poverty and building a future of hope and resilience for generations to come!
The complex trap of poverty needs to be addressed with a multi-faceted approach. At Strong Harvest, we are addressing this pervasive and debilitating issue in a variety of ways.
EMPOWERING FAMILIES TO BREAK FREE OF POVERTY
Grassroots Engagement
Jogiyara, India
Armame, Tanzania
Our first priority is to approach solutions through grassroots engagement. We go directly to the families in the communities where they live. Our Field Representatives and Field Partners are trusted members of these communities who understand the local cultures and speak the local languages. They have all struggled with poverty, and have personally experienced the benefits of Strong Harvest’s community development training.
Empowerment Through Education
Our Field Representatives and Field Partners empower communities with the knowledge of sustainable community development. They teach individuals and families how to provide their own nutritious food, clean water, and economic opportunity while caring for the environment!

Improving Health
The first effect of our program is better nutrition and consistent access to healthy food and improved drinking water. This results in better health outcomes which impact every aspect of life!
Maria Laiti and her three children live in the village of Bowasi, Malawi. Last year, Maria’s 3-year-old son was losing weight, not growing well, and had poor eyesight. After learning about moringa from our Field Partner Moshi (above center), Maria began using moringa in all the family’s meals. Now, every family member has better health, and the 3-year-old is gaining weight, growing well, and now has good eyesight!
Increasing Economic Viability
In Togo, Kossi (top right, in blue) stands in his moringa field with one of his children and his new employee. Putting their Strong Harvest teaching into practice, Kossi and his wife have created a successful family business making and selling moringa products (pictured above left). With the profits, they have been able to purchase land and build a small house. Their business has now grown enough for them to employ two people. They are no longer struggling just to survive!
Long-Term Commitment
We are committed to the long term, not just the hungry bellies of today. Our programs are designed to break the cycle of poverty by changing the dynamic and setting in motion continuing community development.
With our training, parents like these Maasai women can set a new trajectory for their family and leave a legacy of hope and empowerment for their children!
Creating change that lasts for generations!
A Note from Our Operations Manager
Megan
At Strong Harvest, we witness the power of generosity and collective action. Through the generosity of our supporters, we are able to transform lives and restore hope and dignity in communities facing profound challenges. Through targeted training programs, we empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to become self-sufficient, breaking free from the cycle of poverty that affects their families for generations.
This training helps individuals and families grow nutritious food, earn income, and build resilience. Your support makes this possible. Though you may never meet these individuals, your generosity creates ripples of change that touch countless lives.
We need your ongoing financial support. As we have transitioned to running our programs with full-time employees instead of volunteers, our expenses are exceeding our income. Your consistent contributions provide a reliable foundation that allows us to plan, grow, and sustain our vital work.
With a year-end gift or ongoing monthly pledge, you can be the reason a family gains hope and stability, a mother feeds her children with confidence, and a community rises together. Your contributions directly fund training and resources that equip people with the tools needed for lasting transformation.
Giving is more than an act of kindness—it’s a powerful investment in someone’s future. Join us in spreading hope and opportunity. Together, we can continue creating meaningful change where it’s needed most. Please help this good work continue into the future. Your support matters now more than ever.
Thank you! Megan
