Supplies for a Community Garden

Country: U.S. | Focus: Skills Training | Goal:  $7,145

Teach children how to garden and grow healthy, fresh foods.

Program Goal:  The children will learn how to grow healthy fresh foods through the use of community gardens in South Dakota on the Rosebud Reservation. ChildFund and the children of the community will grow 5 gardens. Each garden will benefit approximately 40 children (total of 200 children).

Expected Results:  The program is designed to alleviate hunger and stop malnutrition affecting children and families. Children will receive supplies (soil, seeds, spade) and instruction, and work as a group to create community gardens from the ground up. Additionally, the project assists the child in making a compost bin and cold frame if needed due to cold climates. An event will be held to show off what children have grown. Children are also given supplies if they want they want to plant a garden at home with their family.
