You Helped Prove What Local Solutions Can Do

Last year, more than 200 Google employees chose to personally support DIG through go/GiveDIG, contributing over $40,000.

You didn’t just donate. You helped launch a smarter approach to fighting childhood malnutrition. When traditional aid systems fell short, your support allowed DIG to respond with locally driven solutions. Instead of depending on external food shipments, we worked directly with caregivers and farmers to grow the nutrition their children needed, right where they live.

Here is what your 2024 giving made possible in 2025.

Your Support Transformed Childhood Nutrition in Kenya

DIG’s Priority Household Program (PHHP) provides intensive support to caregivers of malnourished children through a customized, nutrition-sensitive agriculture approach. Caregivers learn to grow nourishing gardens, prepare healthy meals, and monitor their child’s growth while building long-term resilience.

200 Children Reached

Your collective giving supported the recovery of 200 malnourished children, almost doubling the number DIG could serve in this same program last year.

97% of Children Recovered

Nearly every child treated through this program made a full recovery within 6 months, and our data shows that kids graduating from DIG’s PHHP continue to thrive without further intervention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You Grew DIG’s Experiential Farmer Field School Program 

Prevention is just as powerful as treatment. In places like Homa Bay County, where HIV rates are some of the highest in all of Kenya and 5,000+ children are at risk of stunting, DIG’s Farmer Field School strengthens local food systems, helping stop malnutrition before it starts.

Families are learning to grow and sell healthy food using climate-resilient practices, breaking the cycle of poverty and undernutrition from the ground up.

500+ Farmers Reached

Your gifts allowed DIG to expand our Farmer Field School program from 17 to 20 groups in the Homa Bay region alone. We’re reaching over 500 households, helping them grow their own food, earn income, and prevent malnutrition before it begins.

4x the Impact After Graduation

Our studies demonstrate that on average, every DIG graduate shares what they learn with 4 others in their community, multiplying the impact well beyond DIG’s formal program.

When aid stops, DIG gardens keep growing

What happens when foreign aid disappears? In Kenya, four hospitals that DIG partners with are seeing firsthand how devastating that answer can be: no more Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs), no more emergency lifelines. Families are being turned away with nothing. But these hospitals aren’t standing alone. Through DIG’s Priority Household Program, they’re finding a way forward, one rooted in locally grown solutions, not foreign aid.
