General Philosophy

     We  are dedicated to encouraging the implementation of simple subsistence agricultural technologies in accordance with the time honored principles and methods suggested in the text Two Ears of Corn by Roland Bunch and World Neighbors.

       Any changes we make in the lives of traditional peoples must be readily accepted and self-sustaining. Situations for involvement are carefully chosen so that the odds of success are as high as possible; for in these types of activities it is often better to not try than it is to try.... and fail.  We seek to send our goods and services directly to the areas of need--- to distribute technologies, interact with the local extentionists, and to network with other 'on the ground' relief and development organizations.

Goal number one, do no harm.
Goal number two, improve the lives of as many of the worlds poor as we can by improving their diets by making sure they can grow fresh vegetables year round.  Rain or shine, big city or remote village.
Goal number three, use the funding that we've been entrusted with in a productive and responsible way.

Here we are gettin' down and dirty in Kitale, Kenya, Thanks!
