Meet the volunteers, artists and entrepreneurs growing Niriqatiginnga

Thank you to the incredible individuals and organizations who've supported our work.

Northern food insecurity is a complex problem rooted in poverty which cannot be solved by one program alone. The collective efforts of partners and supporters not only drive innovation but also incubate stronger ties across communities, enabling impactful food sector capacity building. These collaborators, contributors and volunteers make what we do possible and showcase the power of collaboration in creating meaningful change for thriving and interconnected communities. We’re thankful for their encouragement, contributions, guidance and support.
