Volunteer Opportunity: Lagos Community Garden Project

Story

We’re creating a community garden in Lagos to promote sustainability, healthy eating, and community engagement. This garden will provide fresh produce to local families and serve as an educational space.

The Lagos Community Garden Project aims to transform a vacant piece of land in Lagos into a vibrant community garden that promotes sustainability, healthy eating, and community engagement. By creating this garden, we will provide fresh, organic produce to local families, helping to combat food insecurity while also serving as an educational space where people can learn about sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and the importance of environmental stewardship.

Food insecurity is a pressing issue in many urban communities, including Lagos, where access to fresh, affordable produce can be limited. By establishing this community garden, we aim to:

Many families in Lagos struggle to access fresh, nutritious food due to high costs or limited availability in their neighborhoods. The garden will help address this challenge by providing free or low-cost produce, ensuring that more families have access to the essential nutrients they need for a healthy diet.

Access to fresh fruits and vegetables is crucial for maintaining good health. By making these foods more readily available and educating the community about their benefits, the garden will encourage healthier eating habits, which can lead to long-term improvements in overall health and wellness.
