Community Health & Schools

We work with rural communities and poor schools to establish and design food security gardens for vulnerable families among people with disabilities and orphaned school children to get a diversity of healthy food. Most of these families and schools have been affected by use of poor farming methods, prolonged dry spells due to climate change, HIV/AIDS and COVID- 19. When we design food security gardens vulnerable families get food and sell surplus for income, families and children get practical skills and learn to care for their environment.

This has created urgency for us to train participants’ hands on to start tree planting for climate change mitigation, crops and vegetable gardens for community groups and schools to improve nutrition, simple on farm value addition for crop/livestock products, liquid and bar soap making. Above all, pregnant/breast feeding mothers and their babies and children from hunger stricken families get a meal both at homes and school which motivates them to stay longer and continue their education.
