Green Fields

Dear Supporters,

As fall and then winter are coming to those of us in the northern hemisphere, spring and summer are starting in the southern hemisphere. October is the beginning of the short rain season in Kenya. Students at 9 schools supported by Grow Against Poverty are getting gardens planted. Funding through GlobalGiving and other sources has been vital in getting these organic gardens started. We encourage your continued support as additional schools join this program. 

Thanks from the more than 400 students who work in the gardens and the over 5,000 who get to eat the produce.

Hello Donors,

The students and staff at Goodwill Preparatory School are thankful for your support of the Green Fields Project. A ½ acre garden has been fenced, tilled, planted and crops harvested. Garden produce is served as part of school lunches. These meals are very important to many of the students who come from families who struggle with food security.

The garden at Goodwill Preparatory is the ninth funded by Grow Against Poverty. Many schools have requested to be part of this program. Plans are to add another school this year and two schools yearly thereafter. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John Roccanova
