Vicente de Paulo’s farming plot is not just a source of income for the School!
After a
few difficulties with the first sowings during the current year, SVP School
farming plot is finally bearing fruits. This farming plot caters for the
school’s needs, strengthening the After-School Support daily snack, sponsored
by ALG. While the children benefit from support classes to strengthen their
Portuguese language and Mathematics skills, the moms work hard in the farming
plot, on a rotation basis, plating onions, lettuce, potatoes, cabbages or
tomatoes. The sale of these produces benefits not only the school itself but
also finances individual projects for the moms: small scale businesses to sell
produce in their own neighbourhoods, allowing them to be self-sufficient.
ALG is
proud of this project which is an example of sustainability and empowerment for
the Mozambican women.
