Henry started the Kimilili Outreach Food Security Program in August, 2005. The goal of this project is to teach community members how to grow vegetables and raise foul organically, thereby providing food security for the community. Most recently, Henry implemented a “Chicken Project” sponsored by MESA. So far, community members have contributed to the building of a chicken house and the chicklets are rapidly growing up. Beginning with 200 chicks, 190 have survived and Henry is very pleased with this result.
