The Kossoye Project began in 2005, building on a 45-year relationship between the Kossoye community of 7000 persons in Ethopia and Dr. Dennis Carlson, who was Dean of the Public Health College at the University of Gondar in the 1960's. The $10,000 grant from the AllPeopleBeHappy foundation will enable the Ethiopian Household Vegetable Gardening Program to be launched throughout Kossoye. The funding is being used for 1) support of the 12 Community Health Worker stipends, 2) purchase of seeds and tools for the 1200 elementary school children, 3) printing of revised gardening manuals, and 4) prizes and awards for top gardeners.  Thus far, 279 family gardens are thriving.  (www.kossoyeproject.org)
