Kenya
Localized Nutrition Gardens
The Challenge
Malnutrition and stunted growth affect children in marginalized communities due to a lack of dietary diversity and an over-reliance on single-staple diets.
Our Programme
The Localized Nutrition Gardens project establishes household and school gardens specifically designed to maximize nutritional output in small spaces.
The People
We focus on primary schools, community health workers, and mothers in both peri-urban and rural Kenyan communities.
Key Activities
- Installing raised-bed and vertical gardens in primary schools and community centers.
- Training mothers in nutritional meal preparation using their garden produce.
- Distributing a wide variety of vitamin-rich and indigenous vegetable seeds.
