The Problem
In this barren and polluted township of Ouagadougou, many women try to make a living by making and selling bricks. We aim to create an organic community garden ('jardin partagé') for urban farming. Our wish for this community garden is to strengthen bonds between the neighbourhood women, as well as to restore a positive and respectful connection between people and their natural environment. Furthermore, these organic farmers-to-be will be able to improve their families' diets as well as to make a little money by selling their harvests' surplus.
