Who Eat So Who Can? The funds raised through Eat So They Can are used to support 3 main causes: - Feeding Projects - Sustainability Projects - Greatest Need

Feeding Projects Funds raised for this cause will be used towards projects which support children’s immediate nutritional needs.

Nutrition for Change Sacred Valley, Peru PROJECT: Our partner’s Nutrition for Change program provides a daily lunch to 400 school children.

Sustainability Projects Funds raised for this cause will be used to provide grants that will assist our projects in becoming more sustainable. The types of projects supported through this cause include animal projects and income- generating projects.

PROJECT: Women are given animal training then gifted cows as a means of income generation and family nutrition and wellbeing. 7 cows have been distributed in the last 2 years and first born calves are donated to another group member Women’s Group, Kitoola, Uganda

Greatest Need Funds raised for this cause will go where they are needed most. These funds will also allow GVN Foundation to respond immediately to any emergencies in the future.
