“School gardens are particularly helpful to the local community. From the school garden, we can distribute seedlings. Additionally, the gardens are a source of nutritious vegetables, which we can distribute to vulnerable families during this time.”

Our aim is to have a malnutrition-free Burera community, and that this knowledge reaches beyond our school gardens.”

 School’s gardens are a source of pride. “They’ve been a space for learning, for both Scouts and community. The gardens are a source of information, and as we all know, knowledge is power. They’ve changed community s’ attitudes around gardening, through education.”
