My name is Joy Urban and I and my husband, Steve, have been supporting SHI for 12 years. I have been a board member for less than a year. We support SHI because their work benefits all of us by teaching poor farmers to raise crops in sustainable ways it restore our planet's forests and lifts people out of proverty. We have seen SHI's work grow and evolve to meet the needs of more families in Central America. When families finish working with SHI they continue to use what they have learned and to share it with their neighbors. The SHI model is very empowering, impactful and innovative. We're proud of the work they do and are glad to be a part of it.

My husband and I have been supporting SHI for 12 years. The work they do is making a difference in people's lives by improving their nutrition and income and it also reverses the trend of deforestation. We share their passion for improving our planet and people and we know our contributions to them are well spent.
