Growing Hope Foundation DESCRIPTION CONTACT NAME Julie Fiske EMAIL [email protected] The Growing Hope Foundation reduces hunger and poverty through the development of farmland in developing countries and training programs to train farmers in those countries how to farm effectively. The end goal is for communities in developing nations to be able to become more self- sustaining by learning how to make the land productive. Crops to be raised will not only provide food, but will also be marketed to provide income. They also support a variety of nonprofit organizations.
