Seeds of Change: Empowering Youth Through School Gardening

Bushenyi, Western Region, Uganda

In Bushenyi District, many schools struggle with limited access to nutritious food, and students often lack practical skills in agriculture and self-reliance. Seeds of Change was created to address these challenges by establishing vibrant school gardens that provide hands-on learning experiences. Through gardening, students gain essential knowledge in planting, harvesting, and sustainable agriculture, while also developing teamwork, responsibility, and leadership skills that extend beyond the classroom.
