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 four $10,000 grants from the AllPeopleBeHappy foundation (2009-2012) have enabled 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 3000 elementary school children, 3) printing of revised gardening manuals, and 4) monthly coffee and health discussion sessions. Thus far, 300 family gardens are thriving, and discussions are being held in all hamlets with over 300 women attendees. The Project is currently expanding to the communities in Shenkur Mesk, 10 km to the south of Kossoye.  (www.kossoyeproject.org)
