Capital District Kiwanis INITIATIVE FOR AFRICA

An Ancient Proverb PROVIDE a Hungry Child with a Fish… and you Feed the Child for a Day But, TEACH a Hungry Child to Fish….. and You Feed the Child for a Lifetime

The Reality 26,000 Children Die Every Day African Droughts Cause Crop Failure & Additional Famine Only 4% of Africa’s Arable Land is Irrigated

KickStart International U.S. Non-Profit Organization Est Works Directly with Farmers in Africa Has already lifted 370,000 People Out of Poverty in Kenya, Mali & Tanzania

Dr. Martin Fisher Founder of KickStart International Recipient of Sustainability Award from MIT Named “Engineer of the Year” by Design News KickStart.Org/-teck/technologies/micro-irrigation.html

How It Works Kiwanis contributions purchase human-powered pumps & farming assistance provided through KickStart Int’l Every $150 enables another family to start a small farm business Families must contribute $100 of own money Result: Families able to overcome their poverty

KickStart’s Super Pump Can draw water over 50 feet Can be used to irrigate up to 2 acres of land

KickStart’s Hip Pump A lower cost and lighter weight, portable pump Can be easily used to irrigate an acre or more

Our Goal District-wide: $25,000 which will be matched by KickStart Int’l with another $25,000 Provide 160+ African families (800+ men/women /children) with opportunity for a better life And a permanent solution to their poverty
