Cairo Li

Cairo Li alias Sweetful Li
\O/
8 years old. Funny type.
Very inventive, but still can’t tie his shoes. Roars all day long. Abira organizes a roaring contest for him every year in July. His star sign is Leo. But the roaring is mainly because he eats lots of candies. He has to watch out that he doesn’t change into a candy himself. His little face starts to look like one.

With part of the proceeds from Cairo's artworks and products, Heart-World supports the charity Farms For Orphans. They feed DR Congo's Orphans through Insect Farming. One child under the age of 5 dies of starvation every 3.6 seconds. For millions of kids (5 million orphaned children), chronic malnutrition will result in stunting - a condition that stunts a child's physical and cognitive growth. Good nutrition is the foundation of child survival, health and development. They are working to alleviate hunger and malnutrition in one of the world's lowest socioeconomic sectors- orphaned children- through the introduction of small scale edible insect farming in the DR Congo. By farming insects, orphanages can grow their own protein source and generate income through the sale of surplus yields. They provides food-insecure orphanages with the training, equipment and support to start their own palm weevil grub farms. Grubs are a popular food source throughout the Congo Basin and are high in essential fatty acids, protein, Fe, Ca, Mg and other critical nutrients. Grubs requires far fewer resources (land, water, feed) to produce and generate an equivalent amount of protein as traditional livestock. Moreover, grub sales bring profits comparable to those from other proteins in local markets.
