THE SONDER PROJECT YEAR–END REVIEW
Food Security & Education
• Continued development of our two irrigated
community farms in Burkina Faso
• Established one additional community garden
with 30 raised beds in Panama City, FL
• Continued partnership with Food for Thought
through our community gardens to support
students of their Full Circle Kitchen classes
and their families – an effort that
impacts 450 people
• Broke ground on our first School Garden at
Walton High School in DeFuniak Springs, FL.
Clean Water
We have installed four new water pumps,
providing clean water to 10,000+ people. This
year we’ve surveyed members of multiple
communities where we’ve installed water pumps
– and the response has been encouraging!
2019 Impact
• 87% of respondents said they spend less time
collecting water as a result of our pumps
• 93% reported getting sick less frequently
after using the Sonder pump
