Moringa Update!

Some farmers have already began adding the moringa leaves to their
family's diets. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is indeed
significantly improving their health, especially those that are "sick".
A woman who was so physically wasted by disease that she could not get
out of the house is now back on the farm working and the lesions on her
mouth has gone away.

The trees themselves are growing well in all the regions, even in the
higher altitude farms. There has been some problems with pests and
fungus but has been brought under control. Several of our partners are
building moringa solar driers, one of them based on our design. Leaf
production is about ready.

Here are some awesome photos of the moringa trees and some farmers
working with it.

Our next stage is in the works!
