About the Program:
Raíz De Fondo is a nonprofit organization based in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico that offers educational opportunities to children and adults in order to enhance local quality of life through organic gardening, nutritional advocacy, promotion of a sustainable culture, and community resilience. Three community gardens in La Paz serve as platforms for advancing this mission. Once abandoned lots, these urban oases now provide a space for residents to cultivate gardens, attend workshops and events, and build community connections.
