About the Program: 

Our garden has served to help children learn about where food comes from how to plant tend to and care for edible plants and the life cycles involved tending to gardens and caring for chickens. The garden grant would make it possible for us to expand the gardens to serve the needs of the community at large by installing a greenhouse and an additional water cistern to sustain fruit trees and to begin to produce enough harvest to offer it to members of the neighborhood and community.
