Hunger. Hunger is defined as a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by lack of food, coupled with the desire to eat. To suffer through lack of food. To have a strong desire or craving for.
In Guinea Bissau 93% of the population experience chronic hunger. According to 2013 research, only 7% of their population is considered food secure. Compare that to the United States, where 86% of households are food secure.
At Hope Remembered we want to see families thriving. We want to see communities equipped with the tools and resources to meet their own physical needs. We want them to no longer dread the seven month dry season when crops die and families go hungry.
To help achieve this Hope Remembered teaches a method of farming called Farming God’s Way. Farming God’s Way is a resource given to the wider body of Christ, to equip the poor and break the yoke of poverty. As well as teaching people how to grow their own food in a sustainable way it creates opportunities for people to hear about Jesus. We believe that this method along with training in drip irrigation can help families to achieve food security and break the yoke of poverty.
