Pilot project: Ecological school garden at Kiluvya School

PROBONO has just launched its first school garden project in collaboration with SAT at Kiluvya School near Dar es Salaam. After a week of intensive training for teachers in the theory and practice of organic gardening at SAT's model farm, a school garden was created at Kiluvya School. The students were actively involved in the process. With great dedication, they dug up the soil, created beds, and sowed the first seeds, including spinach, Chinese cabbage, eggplant, and amaranth. They learned how to make compost, organic fertilizer, and biological pesticides, how to keep moisture in the soil, and how to strengthen plant health. Now the children and young people are looking forward to harvesting their first vegetables!

Our sincere thanks go to Hazera Seeds Germany and all other donors for their financial support!

We need support to expand the project – we would be very grateful for your donations!
