With the arrival of the rainy season, ideal farming conditions have returned to the Children’s Village vegetable farm. The soil has softened, allowing the team to begin preparing beds and cultivating the land in readiness for transplanting young seedlings — marking the start of what promises to be a productive growing season.
This season, the farm is cultivating a range of vegetables including garden eggs, chilli peppers, and okra, among others. These crops serve a dual purpose: providing the children and the wider village community with fresh, nutritious food while also giving them direct, practical experience in agriculture.
Last year’s harvest was exceptionally strong, and early preparations this season suggest similar, if not greater, results are achievable. The groundwork is being laid carefully, with the goal of maintaining both the quality and quantity of produce grown on the farm.
The farm remains an integral part of life at the Children’s Village, connecting daily nutrition with hands-on learning in a way that benefits the children both practically and personally.
Your continued support and commitment make all of this possible — and we are deeply grateful.
