New life Foundation for Community Rural Development - Nefcord

🌱⚽ Exciting progress at Kamaiba Soccer Academy's Eco Food Garden in Kyanya!

We have successfully constructed a shed net for our vegetable nursery and transplanted cabbages, sukuma wiki, dodo, tomatoes, and eggplants into our demonstration garden. The project is led by girls footballers who are currently out of school and are gaining practical skills in climate-smart agriculture, leadership, and agribusiness.

Already, 14 youth (9 girls and 5 boys) have collected seedlings from the nursery and established vegetable gardens at their homes, helping to improve household nutrition and resilience.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Girls For Climate Action for providing the start-up package that made this initiative possible. Together, we are demonstrating how sports and agribusiness can empower young people and create sustainable livelihoods.

We would also love to connect with organizations championing youth-led climate action, food security, and green livelihoods.
