Family Orchards
The extreme poverty of families prevents them from eating full diets which meet even minimal nutritional standards. Only having access to meager amounts of the same food every day leads directly to malnutrition and stagnant development in children.
Food availability is one of the factors that influence the quantity and quality of the products consumed by a family. Children and women need a more varied diet. The immediate solution that we have implemented is alternative gardens, which work as an effective tool for the family to produce and consume low-cost, healthy food.
In addition, the family is able to work together to produce food and future food security. This type of garden and crop establishment is directly related to the needs and preferences of each family.
