“Before, our vegetables would die, and we survived on boiled cassava. Now, we have fresh food near our home.” – Aumdia, Don’s father
When devastating floods forced 9-year-old Don’s family to relocate in Southern Laos, life became a struggle. Food insecurity impacted Don’s health, forcing him to miss school to forage for food. But hope bloomed when World Vision’s SNAP project introduced home gardening and fish-rearing techniques.
With tools, seeds and training, Don’s family now grows vegetables year-round and raises fish. Not only do they have nutritious food on their table, but extra income to buy essentials like rice. Don no longer has to hunt for food - he’s back in the classroom, dreaming of becoming an automotive technician.
