Widows' Gardens Project

The Widows’ Gardens Project (Uganda)

Thanks to all who have contributed to this nine-year initiative by your physical presence in the
Project area, by your prayers, by your oversight, and/or by your financial assistance. 1084
families have been lifted from hand-to-mouth poverty to ongoing food security through access
to rented fields and start-up seeds.

The key to the success of this effort has been to give one year’s access to enough land (3/4
acre) to enable each hard-working widow the means to feed her family, store seeds to plant
for the coming season, and earn enough revenue from crop sales to continue to rent her
garden plots.

Now a widow-led Ugandan community-based organization has been established, (“Hope
Gardens”), and as new funding sources are found, the reach of this initiative will extend to
other communities in southwestern Uganda, God willing.

Thanks to the leadership of Living Hope Church, to our capable and trustworthy Ugandan Co-
ordinator, Elly Nankunda, and thanks be to God.

Yours in Him,
David Moore
Volunteer Project Officer
