As well as affecting the children, hunger also affects the community members and staff which is why these community gardens could help to eliminate a range of issues. This is a big problem in many countries as poverty is still a large global issue. Education is very important and a key to breaking the poverty cycle, however, many children in poorer or more rural areas struggle to stay in school and concentrate effectively as they are struggling with hunger and lack of nutritious meals.
This project is working to enable schools around the world to provide self-sustaining meals to students, through the implementation of vegetable gardens. We train the local community members that work at the school in crop management and in health and nutrition so they can become the local experts to ensure their students get a healthy meal that keeps the students' brain active and the catering costs down as the products are grown at the school.
