there for children.

A year ago, thanks to generous donations, the gardening project in Burkina Faso was launched by the organisation ABN (Association Bangr Nooma). Two specialists taught the children how to garden during the summer holidays and they planted a variety of vegetables such as tomatoes, courgettes and melons. Thanks to the project, the children were safe from dangers such as kidnapping on the street during this time. Fertile garden beds were created from the hard soil, which produced plenty of vegetables. To support the growth of the plants, the vegetables were watered from the well. When the children went back to school, the parents took over the care of the gardens. The sale of the harvested vegetables enabled the children to buy school materials and continue their education.
The water pump that supplies our garden project in Burkina Faso with vital water has unfortunately broken down and cannot be repaired. Without a functioning pump, the survival of our garden and the vegetables grown on it is jeopardised. The project, which was due to start again in May, is therefore in jeopardy. Without sufficient irrigation, the plants could die and jeopardise the entire project.
