Overview
Kitchen Garden is a community development programme of Rock of Hope Community and Family (ROHCAF) that promotes household and community vegetable gardens as a practical solution to food insecurity and poor nutrition. The programme supports vulnerable families, caregivers, and communities to establish and maintain small-scale gardens where vegetables and other nutritious crops can be grown close to the home. Participants receive practical guidance on gardening, soil preparation, seed selection, water management, composting, and sustainable farming practices. By increasing access to fresh vegetables and encouraging families to produce part of their own food, the programme aims to improve household nutrition, reduce food expenses, strengthen food security, and promote sustainable livelihoods.
