Dona Carmen: "It's beautiful to see the harvest"

Dona Carmen: "It's beautiful to see the harvest."

Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,

First of all, we are deeply grateful to you for your continued support of the project, as home gardens are very important for families in the communities of Oaxaca in these times of COVID-19 pandemic.

I’m pleased to report that people 50+ are now being vaccinated in Oaxaca. This clearly gives a ray of hope in the communities, as regular activities can start again--not quite as before, but more safely.

With your support from the last Little by Little campaign, we've acquired the materials to implement 10 new home gardens. The materials have been inspected by the local village committee and our field technician, Severiana, ensuring the quality of the materials and tools. We will distribute the materials over the next weeks and proceed with the workshops, training, and implementation of the home gardens in the Rancho Faisan community immediately after. Composting and organic fertilizers will be developed with our technical training, and the beneficiaries will manage the seed with the Municipal authorities, who saw positive results and demand from the community.

In the last cycle, production in the home gardens was very good, with tomato, cucumber, wild coriander, radishes, and pumpkin having the best yields. These crops were the ones that had the greatest impact on the families and which they asked to be used in their entirety for consumption. Doña Carmen, one of the beneficiaries, shared her story about the importance of the home garden and is promoting their implementation in her community, “It’s beautiful to see the harvest.”

I hope you enjoy the photos I’ve included. I look forward to sharing more news about the impact of these efforts in the following report. Until then, be safe and take care. 

Thank you for your support!

Marco Acevedo, Mexico Program Officer
