Developing a Food Garden at my School.

Don't these vegetables look beautiful? 

This project started in 2004 when we sat down as an environmental committee of Fikizolo Primary School. We revisited our environmental policy which state that in order learners can be able to progress and acquire good quality education, they must live in the healthy environment. We therefore involved the learners in this project so that they can acquire skills that can help with the development of food gardens in the community. This project was of help to our learners. When we started this project only foundation phase was fed by the nutrition project. We discovered that these learners came under the same roof where there is poverty and unemployment. We decided to develop a food garden so that thre can be also an additional meal for the intermediate phase learners.
