Tanzania

In 2018 we worked with GRACE mission in Tanzania to send 100 breadfruit trees from Kenya to Tanzania. Now the trees are fruiting plentifully! Read about this journey, in our Breadfruit to East Africa blog post.

We were later introduced to Women Against Poverty through our friend Susan who has been a great volunteer for TTFF. Women Against Poverty wanted to make flour using breadfruit and went to Zanzibar to buy breadfruit to bring back home to dry and turn into flour.

We connected with Jamaican consulate Betty Delfosse, a restauranteur. She worked with us to send a flour mill to Women Against Poverty so that they could begin making their own flour. They now sell the flour in both Tanzania and Kenya.

Hospitals use this flour to provide nutrition to both disabled children and children struggling with cancer. Feeding programs in Nairobi also buy the flour.

We look forward to continue seeing Women Against Poverty succeed in Tanzania, and seeing more breadfruit trees fruiting!
