HOMEMADE
On the corner of Chestnut and North 11th streets sits a
blue workshop-esque building surrounded by shrubs. It’s one
of those nondescript structures that’s easy to overlook. It’s
even hard to find an identifier: a disproportionately small sign
on the side reads “Full Belly Project.”
But sometimes you can’t judge a building by its siding. This
inconspicuous office and workshop in a Wilmington neigh-borhood
is reducing hunger and poverty worldwide. Since
2001, the small staff has impacted 67 countries with inven-tions
like peanut shellers, water pumps and soap presses.
