Seeds and tools for over 28,000 Kivu families

    NAIROBI

    The international NGO Food for the Hungry International (FHI) has recently distributed seeds and tools to over 28,700 families, or some 143,500 people, in North and South Kivu. FHI told IRIN today that the bulk of the seeds - including soybean, potatoes, peanuts and maize - were distributed over the past two weeks as part of a humanitarian programme funded by USAID. FHI was also assisting particularly vulnerable groups in the area, including the handicapped, orphans and a pigmy village.
