That group is now the Greenwich World Hunger Association (GWHA), a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit volunteer organization that solicits funds to fund small, income or food-producing projects.</p> <p>Recent projects include emergency relief in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a sustainable farm for a school in Nepal, and the provision for vented, fuel efficient stoves that decrease risk of burns and respiratory diseases for families in Guatemala.</p> <p>Grants are typically in the $2,000 to 5,000 range. Applications and instructions are available on the GWHA website.</p>
