Can we grow tomatoes successfully without spraying ? The answer is yes we can produce food without poisoning the soil, killing the living organisms and degrading the land. It's not too late to love more of our environment than profits and much produce. #gardening #environment #climatechange.

Today we had a tiresome but an amazing day that we spent in the garden preparing the land for the matured seedlings in the nursery bed. With more crops in the garden, we have hope of getting more empty stomachs filled. #gardening #environment #climatechange #food .

It has now been seven days since we planted these seedlings into the nursery bed . Seeing big plants grow from small seeds shows how rewarding nature is to those that take action. Even a small action can lead to something great. #gardening #nature #environment #climate #food.

Will power has no obstacle. After suffering several months of drought, we're trying again with new seeds into the nursery bed. We hope to produce more seedlings to share with loal farmers and more food to provide to the needy because of what we have done today. #gardening #nature.

Drought in our society has become so destroyed many farmer's months of hard work. One of the victims is MR. Kajuba Peter who depended on his crops to feed himself and his family. We seek for your support to get hi food for three months until he can be able to grow his own food again.

The crops in our community are drying up due to too much sunshine and water shortages while the same rainfall is destroying crops in other areas, does this happen in your countries as well?, Is it due to climate changes?

A community free from hunger begins wit a simple act of training children how to produce food. Today we have been able to teach these young children how to grow oniions, tomatoes and bananas. #gardening #environment #climatechange.

Today, the seeds we planted became meals on the table. We distributed our produce to the needy because no one should go to bed hungry when we can grow the solution. Join us to grow more crops, feed more people and create a greater impact. #gardening. #food #nature #environment #community.

Happy Sunday to everyone here. It's a beautiful morning here in Uganda and nature has blessed us with mangoes from the mango tree we found already grown in our land. It's a pleasure sharing with you. #nature #environment #gardening.

Our crops stand today because we refused to accept the fate drought was bringing to them. Through hard work, we're coming to the end of drought at which the sunshine is the toughest However, we hold onto the promise we made to our community and to those who believed us when we said we can make it

Drought in our area is heavy. Many gardens have given up. But still watering because what we grow is not just crops but hope for those in need. It's a hard work but green leaf standing against drought is proof we don't have to wait for rain to chose hope. #gardening #nature #environment #food
