Reviro—a fried dough made with flour, oil, salt, and water—is a staple for this community. We delivered dozens of pounds of flour so families could prepare the dish, commonly served alongside sweet potatoes, fish, and eggs. Our team was honored to share a plate of reviro with the community. As WCK always does, we ensure the support we offer is culturally appropriate and meets the needs of the communities we serve.
