HOW CAN WE HELP THE POOR?
Engage in Ecosystem Revival
Centuries of colonial domination caused serious damage to the ecosystems of communities - the intricate web of relationship between human society, their natural environment, and their moral code.
​
“Poverty is both a cause and a symptom of environmental degradation. You can’t say you’ll start to deal with just one. You’re trapped. When you’re in poverty, you’re trapped because the poorer you become, the more you degrade the environment, and the more you degrade the environment, the poorer you become. So it’s a matter of breaking the cycle.” —from a 2005 interview in The Progressive Wangai Maathai (Nobel Peace Prize 2004)
"There's enough on this planet for everyone's needs but not for everyone's greed." Mahatma Ghandi
Educate and Empower Them
"Poverty is not created by the poor. It is created by the system we built and we have to change the system". He also noted, "the poor themselves can create a poverty-free world— all we have to do is to free them from the chains that we have put around them" Mohammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize 2006

"Education is not a way of escaping poverty, it's a way of fighting it". Julius Nyerere
The global markets that govern food systems continue to undermine the rights of Africans to grow and distribute their own food.
"The only way to help the poor is to make them productive." Fr. Godfrey Nzamujo, Founder Songhai Center.
PLANET + PEOPLE = PRODUCTIVITY

JIIMARISHE HONEY PROJECT
The Jiimarishe Honey Project empowers residents of marginalized communities in Kenya by creating multiple income streams from their own land through apiculture. Besides the honey, the presence of the bees also helps to catalyze the growth of fruit trees and garden produce to feed the family and the remaining produce is sold for income.
In 2021, PHI did a pilot project with 20 farmers in Gilgil, Kenya. The collaborative venture with the farmers resulted in as much as a five-fold increase in income for the farmers. This increase in income was initiated first be capturing rainwater for consumption and for agriculture. Beekeeping contributed to financial resilience and improved the overall well-being of their families. Beneficiaries included a significant percentage of elderly women and persons living with disabilities.
