In 2009 a huge rain destroyed thousands of homes in Burkina Faso and took many lives. I wrote this poem in French to share with students and many people in Africa.

Thanks to an important donation of seeds by Hope Seeds, we have started a big gardening project in Burkina Faso.
So far, we reached out to several villages and donated seeds to many young men to start their own gardens projects.
What you are seeing are just photos of vegetables in just one community.
Thanks for your support.

As we create more gardens in the communities of 32000 inhabittants, the young men will be able to sustain their families needs for healthy food, thus fighting malnutrition and hunger.
In addition, they are going to sell the surplus production to make money.
Each man has in total 20 packs of seeds ranging from eggplant, watermelon, lettuce, onion, tomato, green pepper, cabbage, etc.

It usually takes just a little bit to brighten a youth’s day. A soccer ball, volleyball or second hand t-shirt.

Mango trees being distributed to students for planting. Fruit trees provide a double benefit: they produce fruits which help to fight malnutrition and hunger as well as protecting the environment.

The moringa Oleifera trees are the solution for malnutrition especially for the poor who can't afford to buy bottles of vitamins. The leaves are very rich in nutrients and vitamins.
We planted as many trees as well donated several trees to villagers to plant about a year ago. These women come to OUAGANET facilities to harvest the leaves to prepare dishes. We want the villagers to buy into taking good care of the plants so that they can provide leaves for their families.

Did you know? An eggplant feeds up to three children in Burkina Faso and provides the nutrients and the vitamins for their normal growth.
