Since 2012, Milwaukee-based Feeding Mouths Filling Minds (FMFM) has been driving to eliminate the challenge of finding safe, dependable food and water sources in communities throughout East and West Africa so that children can focus on their future. 100% of proceeds from our events are passed through to the projects we work on.
In many impoverished communities we work in, school days only last for a few hours because schools do not have funds to provide mid-day meals for children nor access to clean water or sanitation facilities. By providing schools with funds and training to build revenue-generating gardens, community water wells and safe and private latrines, schools are able to open for full days of learning and provide a nutritious meal as well. As FMFM continues deepening and widening this work within an area, children can fill their bellies and nourish their minds in school with the aim to eventually, break the cycle of poverty.
Each community we help has a different challenge – some are in dire need of clean water and others need renewable food sources. No matter the type or size, we work with partners to be sure that every project is driven by local leaders and utilizes local tools, talent and resources. In the end, it's not our project, it's their project. And because one size doesn’t fit all, our project-based, collaborative approach allows us to not only create unique, sustainable food and water sources for children, but it ensures that 100 percent of our proceeds are truly put to the best use – impacting these communities for years and generations to come.
