In a community outreach programm, trainers from our partner organisation FEYS volunteered to organise a workshop on gardening, vegetable varieties and building a garden for 20 participants from the neighbourhood.

The participants were very motivated and were able to plan the creation of their own gardens on their plots with the trainers in simple steps. The trainers also look after the participants afterwards and clarify questions and provide support in the practical implementation of growing vegetables.

Our common goal is to spread the idea of growing one's own vegetable gardens in the neighbourhood and thus improve food and nutrition in the region. In the future, more neighbourhood workshops will follow in Maun. In addition, the trainers would like to expand their services and offer them in other districts.

To make this possible, we are currently looking for sponsors for the Vegetable Neighbourhood Project.
