Dry season gardening

My women’s group is amazing. They always come to meetings I hold, and actually take action! I have been encouraging gardening since I arrived, and this year I have seen drastic improvements. The shared women’s garden is not only functioning, but the majority of women have also created personal home gardens. Although there is still limited diversity in what they grow, they are using it for meals and selling surplus at the market. Here are some photos of their hard work.
