Description

Community gardens with WASH 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 WASH kits and Nutrelief kit, a nutrition sensitive aid that contains root crops, legumes and leafy vegetables which can be eaten as food or planted for longer term use. Hands-on training on bio-intensive gardening, benefits and utilization of vegetables, food safety, and WASH 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 WASH with consultation, coordination, planning, and partnership building with key stakeholders.
