Help with Food
Greeting?
Thank you for your gift! Please have a look at a special appeal from Kenya.
Today I share a special appeal from Gilbert Ochieng. Gilbert is the manager and Operations Director of Star of Hope International Foundation – Kenya. Right now, they are facing extra economic strain, but Gilbert has a solid plan to get back in the black, accounting black. He writes:
“We started an onion farm.” In a quest to bridge the supply-demand gap for red onions in Kenya, Star of Hope Kenya has embarked on an exciting journey – they've ventured into the world of red onion farming! Gilbert Ochieng, the Director of Star of Hope Kenya, excitedly shares, "We started an onion farm," and we're not stopping there.
Star of Hope International Foundation Kenya uplifts underserved communities in Mombasa, Kenya. However, recent global economic challenges together with spiraling inflation have strained the finances, resulting in a monthly budget deficit and debts with suppliers.
Gilbert says, “The children are affected and without more income the programs are at risk of downsizing and some children will miss out on education and feeding.” Yes, it is fantastic that Star of Hope Kenya has a plan to fix the budget deficit.
Our Solution: Red Onion Farming for Self-Sufficiency
Gilbert tells us "Our red onion farming project is a lucrative venture in Kenya, with one acre capable of yielding 10 tons of red onions, generating $11,000 per harvest with a reasonable input cost of $1,000.
With one month already on the farm and the promise of a bountiful harvest in mid-December 2023, they're on a mission to do more. They are now seeking sponsors and partners to propel this venture to the next level.
Our Solution: Grow the farm size for Self-Sufficiency.
To kickstart this project, we need an initial capital injection of $20,000. We have secured $10,000 and are hopeful for $10,000 more. Yes, we need just $10,000 to start it up. Once we get started, the project will generate enough income to sustain itself, making almost all our programs self-sufficient.
You can be part of our journey to empower communities, alleviate poverty, and promote self-sufficiency. Your support will drive immediate change and create a brighter future for generations to come.
Warm Regards, Gilbert Ochieng

Friends, just a small extra gift, when combined with everyone’s extra gift will get us to the $10,000, we need to make the program self-sufficient – what a blessing. So just $25 or $50 or $500 will get us much closer.
Please support the growth of this project as we plan to grow the business to use the profits in the mission. In Kenya, we run schools, feeding programs, churches, and prison ministries.
Yes, I want to Support! (Opens in the Star Shop)
