Women's Community Gardens in Niger
Organization information
Rain for the Sahel and Sahara
Location: Portsmouth, United States of America
Summary
Sustainable agriculture is key to lifting rural families out of poverty and chronic malnutrition. In Sub-Saharan Africa, women grow as much as 90% of the region's food. However, they often lack the infrastructure for efficient gardening - pouring in time and resources and still just scraping by. An optimal solution is investing in shared agriculture and resources. Cash crops generate income and the community garden becomes a classroom for nutrition and organic cultivation techniques.
