3️⃣ Healthcare is Free for Mothers and Children: This incredible program allows pregnant women and children under five in Togo to have access to free healthcare. 💸👩👧
4️⃣ Health Facilities Get a Helping Hand: Our partner, Integrate Health, mentors nurses and midwives in regions with few doctors, ensuring effective care. 🏥👏
5️⃣ The Ambulance is a Motorbike: Motorbike ambulances provide free, life-saving rides to mothers and children in need. 🏍️🚑

Reasons to love putting “coal” in someone's stocking this year:
1. "Coal" is actually luxury charcoal soap and candles are hand-poured in Brooklyn by a female-owned small business.
2. Each purchase provides a new charcoal-efficient stove to a woman in Kenya.
3. The new stove saves half as much firewood as cooking over an open fire (saving 6 trees each year from being cut down for fuel!).
4. The stove also drastically reduces carbon emissions and saves women from breathing in toxic cooking smoke (each stove saves an average of 1 ton of carbon).
5. The stoves are made locally in Kenya and sold by women, creating good jobs!
6. $20 each, they made a great stocking stuffer or hostess gift. They are wrapped and ready for gifting!
7. TODAY! Thursday, Dec 15 is the last day to order for Christmas delivery 📦!

Mercy never planned to become a farmer. During high school, she dreamed of going to college and getting a professional job. But, she couldn't afford tuition.
At 19, she married her husband, Robert, and soon settled down to raise their four children in Bomet, Kenya.
She planted a small plot of corn to help make ends meet. Unfortunately, her husband’s small business was not enough to cover their needs. And with little rain, her corn barely grew.
Mercy persisted, planting kale on a small piece of land in the backyard. Without irrigation, she would carry heavy buckets of water to and fro, trying her best to make it all work. It was excruciating labor.
“It was hard work carrying the jerry cans since my water source is a bit far and uphill. I used to get muscle aches all the time, especially when I combined irrigating the farm with other heavy house chores.”
Then, she received an irrigation pump.Mercy quickly planted beans and cabbage. Borrowing pipes from a neighbor, she was able to connect the pump to a distant water source.
From her first sale of cabbage, she earned a whopping 50,000 Kenyan shillings (worth nearly $500 USD).
Keep in mind, that most rural farmers in Kenya earn $150 USD in an ENTIRE YEAR. She did all this in one harvest.
She took 30,000 KS and invested in a poultry business, which she says is doing well.
"I did not know there were pumps that small farmers like me could use and irrigate. For me, only big farms did irrigation with enormous machines. The few people I had seen irrigate around here were just using buckets."
Mercy wanted to ensure you knew how grateful she is for the irrigation pump and training. And share that her children no longer help on her farm. Now, her extra income is keeping them in school. She said, "Now, they can focus on their studies."
Mercy is not an outlier. She's one of the thousands of farmers who have increased their harvest by 400% with access to an affordable irrigation pump, designed for farmers like her.
Thank you so much for seeing her potential. And giving thousands of people like her, a pathway out of poverty. We are so grateful you are part of our community.
This July we're rallying our community to respond to the urgent food crisis affecting millions of people in the Horn of Africa.
Just $10 will help a farmer feed one person in Kenya. We would love your help!

Here at The Adventure Project, we're focused on sustainability and long-term impact. Today, we're excited to take that commitment to sustainability to the next level. This World Water Day, we're partnering with Saha Global to launch water treatment businesses in Northern Ghana, with a 10 Year Promise.
What does this mean? It means if you support a community today, water will continue flowing for at least the next ten years. And if you decide to support an entrepreneur or community directly, you can opt-in to annual updates for the next decade.
Imagine following along for the next ten years. You can learn how the community grows, witness women earning more as they operated the water businesses, and see children thrive. Click here to learn more and join us: www.theadventureproject.org/water
Clean water is just the beginning.
