This project will promote Horticulture through Sustainable Gardening and the use of organic farming processes to help enrich the diets of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). Horticulture as a practice- specifically, growing fruits and vegetables - provides critical nutrients for a balanced diet. Diets low in fruits and vegetables contribute significantly to some of the world's most widespread and debilitating nutrient-related disorders.
OVC don't have access to food and depend most often on donations people bring to them. The absence of a good nutrition leaves them in more devastated health conditions mainly caused by malnutrition and high rates of nutrients in-balance and leaves them at higher risks of starvation, disease and thus they are not guaranteed their basic human rights. Diets low in fruits and vegetables contribute significantly to some of the world's most widespread and debilitating nutrient-related disorders.
This project will train and assist the children and carers of orphanages and schools on how to set up organic gardens to grow vegetables and basic system to grow Yams. This activity on low scale Horticulture using organic processes will help enrich the diets of OVC. Horticulture a practice- specifically, growing fruits and vegetables - provides critical nutrients for a balanced diet. DMF will train and set up Sustainable Gardens in orphanages and schools to help fight malnutrition among children
The project will directly impact over 10,000 orphans and vulnerable children living in orphanage homes and also in the school milieu in Cameroon.
