Say hi to Maka in Ethiopia. Maka has increased her income threefold since working with SPI, allowing her to invest in small businesses during the offseason and send her kids to school. Supporting SPI means providing nutrition, and also building communities.
Last chance to get matched! You still have time to get your donation of up to $50 matched at 50% through @GlobalGiving LittlebyLittle Campaign–but don't delay, matching ends tonight at midnight EST today! Help us spread the seeds of food security: buff.ly/3U27GC4

There are almost 100 varieties of cucumber in the world! An SPI staff favorite are lemon cucumbers - what's yours? Tell us, we want to know! (Maybe we'll grow it!) Happy #FunFactFriday !

#FunFactFriday Did you know that 1 tablespoon of healthy soil has more organisms in it than there are people on earth?! And those organisms help give the food you eat the minerals and vitamins we need. Happy gardening!

Meet grandmother Batykul, who participated in our ag program in Kyrgyzstan. Here's what she has to say: “I often saw broccoli in the market but didn’t buy it because they were expensive. Now we grow broccoli ourselves, add it to our daily food, eat it with our grandchildren.”
