Digging for Dignity/adopt a family with Backyard Garden
Mar 2, 2021
Story
my dear family these few weeks I was really tense as a community activist working in the biggest Informal settlement we are always invited to meetings to solve problems and find solutions in the Community. Invited to this specific meeting for people who digging in rubbish bins for food and sometimes sellable things like empty cooldrink tins, iron clothes, they still have the carry it back to the Township you can find mothers with Babies on their backs old people, school children it was a big shock for me,I am aware of people eating from rubbish bins,
sometimes people can go out and do some garden work cleaning homes going to the streets and sell handmade products to the Tourist, Our Town Swakopmund is a Tourism destination,
Pandemic Stop everything we are in Lockdown since March 2020 things getting better around October but December holiday goers were here and now we are again back in special Curvy.
Tourists are gone.
That's why we start to train people to make backyard Gardens which we can grow enough food for our own family and community. Every day a new person cOME IN NEED OF FOOD. Times are hard and harder for us in the Informal settlement..
This the reason Backyards Gardening is the best way to go.
