Farm Stew International

FREEDOM FROM SHAME & FREEDOM TO SHARE: FARM STEW educates girls & boys in menstrual health & SANITATION. These funds were used to encourage girls to continue their education uninterrupted by providing them with washable menstrual supplies, thus freeing them from shame. FARM STEW also allows individuals and partners to learn, apply, & contextualize the FARM STEW concept of abundant living in local languages & user-friendly Materials. These funds were used to fund training of trainers events in countries where FARM STEW plans to launch an outreach program. In 2024, 6,715 menstrual kits were distributed to girls.

FREEDOM FROM DRUDGERY & DISEASE: FARM STEW promotes SANITATION in communities by instructing on how to have clean, safe WATER, construct family latrines, tippy-taps, and efficient cookstoves.

Families who have Freedom from Disease and Drudgery can access pure water, construct latrines and tippy-taps, and build efficient cookstoves. In 2024, 13 wells/boreholes were drilled providing clean, accessible water to at least 3,900 people for a cost of $23/person.
