Here on the sun-drenched slopes of Vanuatu, the kava plant is more than a crop—it’s a legacy. We spent a day with the Mala family, who have cultivated kava for four generations. They taught us how to identify a mature plant by the texture of its bark and shared their concerns about increasingly unpredictable rainy seasons.
“This work is in our blood,” explains elder Sam Mala. “But if the soil changes, our children may not have the same connection.” Your support helps us provide these farming families with climate-resilient techniques and fair prices, ensuring this profound connection to the land continues for generations to come.
