Description

The Daily Sustenance While technically a shrub, Cassava is the heartbeat of food security in the region. Rapidly growing and drought-tolerant, its starchy roots provide essential carbohydrates, ensuring that local communities have a steady food supply year-round.

Why Adopt: Adopting a Cassava plant is a direct act of fighting hunger. It thrives in poor soils and survives harsh droughts that kill other crops. By planting Cassava, you are providing a “famine reserve”—a reliable source of food that families can harvest year-round when other supplies run out. It is the ultimate security for a farming family.
