40 fences

Dept of Ag. Garden Starter Kit

Dept of Ag. Garden Starter Kit

We’ve been working for months to get “family garden starter kits” from the government after months of requests to many different departments. Today, seemingly out of the blue, forty arrived from the Department of Agriculture. They include seeds and tools. If you’ve read about our nutrition program you know that fencing and some gardening training are also required to really give the families a chance at success. We’ve already got an agreement with Cedara College of Agriculture to provide gardening training, and only now need funding for an additional 40 fences to be able to greatly expand the Isipho family food garden program.

That is right, you guessed it. The general sense I had yesterday that our opportunities had the potential to outstrip our current funding just became very specific. We need 40 people to donate $27, and we’ll get an additional 40 families growing their own vegetables and improving their own nutrition. Please consider donating now at www.isipho.org/your-participation. The sooner we get the 40 donations, the sooner we can get them integrated into our current round of training. Just click on the PayPal “Donate” button and enter the amount of $27.

Thanks!

Tom
