Healing the Connection to the Land

"In the past, First Nations people were people of the land. Over time, some of those connections have been lost. We’re bringing back that traditional knowledge so we can go back to being producers and not consumers."

    I feel I am becoming more productive and economically empowered, and my voice is heard in the household and community more than before.
    MADAM AYISHA, FARMER, GHANA
    My involvement with Canadian Feed the Children started back in the 1990’s, first as a corporate partner, then as a Board member and ultimately as Board Chair. And now as a corporate partner once again, we are proud to stand alongside Kinvia on this shared path forward and remain confident in the positive impact we will continue to make together in the lives of children, youth, and communities around the world.

    Buzeye, Farmer, Ethiopia
    Before I got engaged in this program, I was a housewife, staying at home with many financial problems. But now, I spend most of my time outside home engaging in income generating activities and it is one of my most important things in my life. I also send my children to school by providing what they need. This vegetable retailing program has changed my life and that of my children by increasing our family income; our relationship has improved, and the children are properly fed.
    BUZEYE, FARMER and MARKET TRADER, ETHIOPIA
    We are pleased to see CFTC’s brand identity evolving in such a mindful way. It decisively and boldly demonstrates that your approach to supporting communities is collaborative, relational, and respectful. It is appealing both visually and, in its meaning, and indicates a real commitment to listening and learning from those you support. Congratulations to everyone at Kinvia on this step forward!

    Last year, I achieved large yields for my farming activities. We were able to buy more land to expand, and now I feed my children nutritious meals.

    Having my own income gives me a lot of freedom. My goal is to sufficiently address the needs of my children’s education. In the future I want to expand my business, creating job opportunities for others.

    I learned pastry and new ways of preparing salads. [The] training has improved the preparation of food, improved our entrepreneurship, and also improved our family’s nutrition.
