Heifer Project is still active, tho. You could look it up. We could set someone up with a flock of chickens for $20 or $25, a beehive, some goats, some sheep, some calves for various amounts.

Worth checking into.

I believe that. It is like that in the Caribbean. Away from the resorts among the natives who live their.

Heifer International I believe. My wife donates to that each year. They are strict who they give the animals to and follow up and require accountability.

One of the few charities we donate to.

"Keeping Africa On the Brink of Starvation "

I still remember when the government kicked White people off their farms and gave the farms to Black people in Zimbabwe.
The new owners immediately scrapped all pipes , pumps and associated metal for scrap.

The farm did/could not produce without irrigation.

Within a year, half the tractors disappeared and the rest were so broken or not taken care of they could not be salvaged.

I read of something similar with wind-driven water pumps, like those seen in Old Farm pictures. These were implemented in African farms and villages and in less than a year they all broke down because there was no maintenance. One guy opined "They don't even know what maintenance is."

The insects increase their numbers logarithmically geometrically , meaning numbers can be 500 times higher in six months.

Desperate Africans are responding with “time-tested” methods: whistling and shouting loudly, banging on metal buckets, waving blankets and sticks, crushing the bugs – perhaps even roasting and eating them
Have they tried importing seagulls? The Mormons were mighty appreciative of their efforts, a while back . . .

I wonder - for future reference - if it wouldn’t be possible to arrange the capability of hatching millions of locust-eating birds in timely fashion . . .

"Zimbabwe farm yields fruit after return of Smart dumb family. "

And when the corrupt-o-crats take it over again, now that it is producing?
