Greetings from Garden of Hope, Kenya Jonnes Ellijah Mlegwah (Mlesh), a 2016 EA intern, is Director of the non-profit CBO Garden of Hope (GOH) in Taita-Taveta County, Kenya. Mlesh shared the following on Facebook. In a region enduring long-term drought, GOH is an oasis that shows what hard work and GROW BIOINTENSIVE can do. A small donation can have a big impact! Please give at donatenow.networkforgood.org/gardenofhope Hello Ecological farming friends! This September is one of our driest months of the year. I thank the Garden of Hope team for making the place look green despite the drought and rejuvenating hope for many local people. Drought-stricken Taita-Taveta countryside (above) I am also thankful to our partner and friend Michael Graham and the Ohio community for their kind support. They organize a fundraiser for Garden of Hope in August where last year they enabled us to purchase a 10,000 liters water tank and this August 2024 they have enabled us to purchase 3000 pieces of baked bricks. We aspire to build a small house for our team thus we still need more materials like foundation blocks and building cement and we are targeting to roof the house by the end of October before our OND rain season kicks off. I once more wish to thank all our friends and supporters: you have made this place for sure to be a dry-land farming, training, and research site for both the locals and other farmers and leaders from other countries. May our Creator bless you! Mlesh To support Garden of Hope please give at donatenow.networkforgood.org/gardenofhope ♥ top | Newsletter Home |Table of Contents| Archive
