Elizandra Cerqueira, founder of the Paraisópolis Women's Association, one of the largest favelas of São Paulo in Brazil: these women launched a program of small organic vegetable gardens on the roof terraces of their favela, to feed their families, and to generate an income by selling part of their harvest.
"The community of Paraisópolis expresses its appreciation for the recognition and grants from Stop Hunger and its donors, which will benefit many families." Elizandra Cerqueira

Nonhlanhla Joye, and her start-up Umgibe Farming Organics, which today allows 3,000 families from the Durban townships in South Africa to survive. From a simple and ingenious idea of small crops of fresh vegetables above ground, Nonhlanhla has quickly built an original and sustainable model that empowers women and surrounding communities, creates jobs and boosts local economic activity, among other benefits.
“I wish to express my deep-felt gratitude to be part of such caring individuals, because because of the Stop Hunger generosity I am going to be able to buy some land that will be dedicated to growing vegetables and raising at least 2000 chickens. What you are doing for entrepreneurs restores faith in humanity and assures us of sustainability.” Nonhlanhla Joye

Brigitte Miché who is a member of the National Board of Restos du Cœur, but first and foremost a field volunteer for almost 20 years. For her, the food aid mission goes well beyond the food provided to beneficiaries. Food aid must be synonymous with health, social linkages, support, empowerment and social reintegration.
“My heartfelt thanks to Stop Hunger for honoring and supporting, through me, the women's integration projects Restos du Cœur in a workshop of the Drôme, in south-east France. At our side once again, this support is important in accompanying women whose future depends on what Restos du Cœur are able to propose to them today.” Brigitte Miché
