2 SECONDS OR LESS

2 Seconds Or Less is a Christian 501(c)(3) public charity, formed in 2011 because of the statistic that approximately every 2.43 seconds (or less) someone in the world dies from malnutrition. We plant nutrition gardens at schools in Zimbabwe to teach sustainable solutions to hunger - solutions that aren't just temporary but develop and inspire change in the schools we work in and the surrounding communities. 2 Seconds Or Less (2SOL) is dedicated to empowerment, sustainability and intelligent development in Zimbabwe; but most of all, displaying to others the love that Christ first showed us (1 John 4:19).
