Launching Organic Farming in Nigeria
Three team members who attended Organic4Orphans farming training in Kenya were given equipment and seeds to begin organic farming in Amukpe. We have partnered with the Ogwhere Primary School to establish an organic farm on school property. The farm will benefit the school children, teachers, and community families by providing nutritious food alternatives to their staple diet of carbohydrates. A Ministry of Education program is currently assessing the health levels of children at the school and considers malnutrition one of the major issues faced by the children. This new farm, along with our primary school health curriculum, will start children and families on a path to better nutrition and stronger immune systems to fight disease.
