This project, a fence, will provide a much needed first step toward reforestation and alimentary security. With free-range livestock in the area, the only way to ensure that trees will survive is to put up a fence to protect them from the livestock. The goal is for families to be able to have a small garden that can provide a level of food security and nourishment when their larger gardens produce poorly. It will also advance reforestation by protecting plots of land from livestock and providing for the care of the young trees.

Hope and encouragement grow more gardens!
Lemuel campus and development staff have been busy! With the rains and the water in the waterholes, they've been immersed in planting and watering existing gardens as well as starting new ones everywhere they can!
Perhaps most exciting of all is that so many in our community are catching on to the idea of starting gardens in their own yards! We have been trying to encourage this for years and it has finally taken root. Others have started larger gardens closer to the waterholes so that they can water them with pumps, pipes, and hoses.
From a recent blog post:
One of our young men said to Manis today, "Everyone had given up on gardens. They were discouraged and didn't want to plant one more time. But seeing what you've done, they are motivated again. They are eager to try again." This is how it all comes together. This is how we're helping our community combat hunger: one seed, one waterhole, one picture of hope at a time.
