Dear Supporters,
Grow Against Poverty's Green Fields program is in its fifth year, 3 with GlobalGiving. Following is a report from Nigel Mark Waswa, Volunteer Director of Programs.
"Thus far, Grow Against Poverty has supported 9 schools with farm supplies and gardening equipment to establish vegetable gardens in the Green Fields initiative. The schools then maintain and sustain the gardens with minimal further input support from Grow Against Poverty. The organic vegetable gardens, which are contributing to school lunches while teaching students sustainable agriculture skills, seamlessly fit into Kenya's current content-based curriculum (CBC). The initiative continues to improve student nutrition and impart valuable skills in regenerative agriculture. We are in conversation with other larger organizations to promote regenerative agriculture to provide further training to the young learners in our participating schools as well as complimentary services such as soil testing."
Thanks to Nigel and the other Grow Against Poverty volunteers who have helped the schools get started and who meet with school staff and students throughout the school year.
And thanks for your contributions. Please help us expand this program to the many shools in Busia County that have requested gardens.
Reagards,
John Roccanova
