Development In Gardening
In 2008, SPH partnered with Development in Gardening (DIG) establishing an organic garden adjacent to the clinic.
Expanding on DIG’s method of enabling vulnerable and HIV-affected communities to grow their own food and sell excess for income generation, SPH brought the DIG model to the many impoverished locals who lack education about organic agriculture and nutrition, helping them to meet their own needs, and improving their well-being through nutritionally-balanced and sustainable agriculture.
Fred, the SPH head gardener, together with Ali, Paul and the DIG team, instruct the local community in organic gardening methods. The DIG team trains individuals and small cooperatives in how to set-up seed collection and organic gardening. Food production and income generation are benefits of the DIG program.
The benefit of the DIG method is especially important for the most vulnerable community members who may otherwise like the ability to support themselves and their families.
The DIG home garden at the clinic is used as a demonstration garden as well as a source of food for the lunchtime staff meal and finally as a food supply for patients in extreme need.
