“My grandchild Emmanuel* was underweight and malnourished,” says Rabson, a farmer in rural Zambia.

“We struggled to provide food for our children,” says Adnas, Rabson's wife. “That kind of hunger, it affects your children. We used to go to sleep hungry, and the children would cry with hunger."

Through an ADRA project, Rabson received black eyed peas to grow – known locally as cowpeas. The cowpeas have significantly improved Emmanuel’s health and now Rabson's family eats three meals a day.

“Had it not been for the cowpeas we received from ADRA, my grandchild would have died by now.”
