Introduction
This project will provide nutritious meals to school children, helping them to maintain good concentration and learn effectively as well as benefit the surrounding community through skills training and income-generation opportunities. This also helps these communities, schools and individuals become independent and more environmentally friendly as they learn to implement cost-effective and efficient ways of growing food and feeding the school children.
Report
By implementing veggie gardens in schools and areas hit hard by poverty we can help to alleviate the hunger problem by providing sustainable meals to children as well as providing community members and staff with important education and knowledge around sustainable agriculture. The produce grown can also be sold to make an income and provide the schools with resources as well as cut down costs for the school canteen as everything would be grown in the garden. We have installed 2 fully functioning vermi aquaponics systems at schools in africa and planted over 50 fruit trees so far.
