Miriam's story

This month USAID reports, “Prompted by rising food prices in 2008, riots and demonstrations erupted in over 40 countries around the world. Unable to afford adequate food, many of the poor in these countries and others are at higher risk for malnutrition . . . [food security] depends on agriculture to provide sustenance, incomes and livelihoods for the world’s rural poor - 2.1 billion living on less than $2 per day.

Miriam is a young wife and mother who attends sustainable agriculture and cooking classes at the agriculture training center in Sinaloa, Mexico. She walks almost 1 hour each way with her 7 month old baby to attend classes. At her home, she is now growing cilantro, tomato, onion, jalapeno, bean, squash and melons. This Christmas, Miriam is grateful to have learned of God’s love and provision for her as she has learned a way to provide for her family.
