From Hunger To Harvest was Founded in May 2002, by Mr. Abraham Habib Nyei, Sr. Mr. Nyei has led a life of service and distinction in the field of humanitarian effort for over Twenty Years. After many years of humanitarian service and research into the urgent problems created by abject poverty, illiteracy, diseases, starvation, and civil conflicts around the world, Mr. Nyei felt an urgent need to create an organization which could address these needs, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa.
The idea of establishing a foundation to help alleviate the suffering of the victims of civil conflicts came about during Nyei’s five-nation tour in West Africa, where he saw conditions in the refugees and displacment camps he visited, as a "humanitarian catastrophe." In an emotional letter to a friend, Nyei wrote, "As I endeavor to scribble these words to you, my Friends, I reminisce with sadness a visit I made along with my uncle about 40 years ago to remote rural villages in Liberia. I was just 15, but cannot forget the squalor, mass poverty and deprivation that still remains hash and overwhelmingly intractable. Again, when I recently visited the refugees' camps in the countries I had visited, I saw similar gruesome images of death that ignited a painful memory, valuable fettered human potentials, degradation and despair." Nyei concluded that "without interference, the magnitude of these financial and humanitarian emergencies will prove disastrous, and will leave the continent vulnerable to terrorism, in the years to come."
These conditions led to the formation of From Hunger To Harvest, (FHTH) Inc. At FHTH, we stand ready to campaign against hunger, to encourage the strengthening of investment in the agricultural infrastructure, and promote regional trade by improving market infrastructure of the affected areas in order to help the people help themselves.
