This is part 5 of a weekly series following the story of Nelly, a 10-year-old girl living in Dzikunze, Kenya whose family is striving to live hungerfree. Find part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here. 

Through a series of blog posts and videos, we’ve learned more about Nelly – a 10-year-old girl from Kenya - and how her family is beginning to live hungerfree. We’ve seen what a typical day is like for Nelly. We’ve learned how she could be hungerfree for a lifetime. 

But the work is far from over.

So what happens next? It seems like the pieces are all in place to make sure Nelly can learn and grow without having to battle hunger’s effect on her education. For her, this is the beginning of a hungerfree story. For other children like her, a story un-influenced by hunger is inconceivable. For other children, a hungerfree world still needs you.

You’re helping make sure Nelly can develop resilience to face the unexpected while enjoying her life as a hungerfree 10-year-old.  To learn more about what you’re supporting, take a peek here.
