Civil society organisation / Philippines

January 2022 — December 2027

Description

Community gardens with water, sanitation and hygiene facilities, managed by community households, will be established and planted with diverse vegetables, providing safe and nutritious food and supplemental income to families. Vulnerable and nutritionally challenged households will be provided with water, sanitation and hygiene kits and a Nutrelief kit – a nutrition-sensitive aid that contains root crops, legumes and leafy vegetables that can be eaten as food or planted for longer-term use. Hands-on training on bio-intensive gardening, benefits and utilisation of vegetables, food safety and water, sanitation and hygiene promotion will be conducted for the partner households who will tend the community garden plots. Lastly, community stakeholders will be engaged in various advocacy activities on food security, nutrition and water, sanitation and hygiene with consultation, coordination, planning and partnership-building with key stakeholders.
