Alliance for International Reforestation

20% - AIR’s mission is to transform the lives of indigenous Guatemalans, who suffer among the highest malnutrition rates in our hemisphere. Through restoring the timber-stripped mountainsides into fertile land and teaching sustainable farming techniques, AIR breathes life and health into the land and the people. AIR establishes tree nurseries, plants trees, provides environmental education for teachers and farmers, installs cisterns, and builds fuel-efficient brick ovens. AIR educates us all about the challenges of malnutrition facing Guatemala and sponsors mission/work trips in May and June. AIR’s Maya technicians have worked with thousands of families in over 250 rural communities since 1993.

21% -  Society of St. Andrew (SoSA) is a     private national non profit organization that partners with local farmers and coordinates thousands of volunteers to enter the fields and groves and even back yards of private homeowners to glean fresh fruits and vegetables  that would not be harvested for size or blemish reasons. SoSA distributes 3-4 million pounds of fresh produce to food banks, pantries and shelters. In 2015 SoSA distributed 4.2 mil pounds of nutritious food with 4,029 participating volunteers.

Madagascar

20% - Dr. Daniel Turk (Elizabeth)– Madagascar (PC(USA) Mission Workers): In 2015 PATH voted to fund a new project in Madagascar under the leadership of Dan Turk. This project trains Seminary students at Ivato,    Mandritsara, Fianarantsoa, and Befeta  Seminaries to plant and grow fruit trees and vegetables. This training will be a valuable tool for students when they graduate and pastor churches in rural areas of Madagascar, where growing food is not seen as a hobby or past time, but as an important means of survival and self sustenance.
