No matter what the news tells us, we are making progress in the fight against global poverty<\/a>. But here\u2019s the truly amazing part: many of us are doing it one small step, one small act at a time!<\/p>\n

One way you do this with Lutheran World Relief is by investing in livelihoods of small-scale farmers,\u00a0who very often lack the resources to get the most out of their land and crops. But all it takes just a few short minutes \u2013 and your generous gift \u2013 to change all that.<\/p>\n

And what a difference it makes! Consider Atandi Wilkister, a coffee farmer who lives in the\u00a0Rachuonyo South District of Western Kenya. There was a time when she wasn\u2019t sure how she\u2019d support her nine children, who she\u2019d been left alone to raise. But with your support, she\u2019s now growing more coffee, better coffee, and earning a good, sustainable income.<\/p>\n

Your gift\u00a0today takes just minutes to give but can change the lives of farmers like Atandi forever.<\/h3>\n
