Project description
The challenge
Rural schools need practical ways to teach life skills such as sustainability, responsibility and teamwork alongside regular lessons.
Our solution
We provide seeds, fertilisers and ongoing monitoring, and support teachers as they guide students in growing organic vegetables in school gardens.
The impact
The gardens produce nutritious food that students use to prepare their own meals, and their enthusiasm has been incredible. Teachers report that the project has brought new energy to the schools, fostering both academic and personal growth.
