Giving Tuesday Match

Share on

The right seeds can make the difference between having a harvest or not.

The right technique can provide an income even if a drought shrivels the main crop.

The right knowledge inspires hope when the situation seems impossible!

Today, we're changing lives through the global #givingtuesday campaign. Your support will provide seeds for a new crop to young farmers! And, thanks to a generous donor, first-time gifts or increases to last year will be matched one-to-one! That makes $100 become $200 to reach worldwide to show your love! 

Because of gifts through ECHO, Amadou above was able to learn about new edible plants that would thrive in his community -- and take them home!

With your gifts, ECHO will be able to train more families like Amadou's this year!

And you don't have to wait! Give before midnight on November 28th to help us meet this great need! Every penny helps!
