“What we want to do is roll out our Victory Garden solution, our solution of changing the way that Malawians think about farming, and thinking about food, so that Malawi can break the cycle of poverty.”

　　About 22,000 families in the Likuni, Tsabango and Mitundu areas are benefitingfrom the campaign. Each person that receives training will teach 25 other people.

　　The small gardens are about 2.5 square meters and can grow up to 15 kinds of plants, vegetables and fruit trees.

　　The campaign chooses plants and trees that can survive on little water. The weather is still dry in Malawi and some villagers must walk a long way to get water. Even so, the seeds of change for a healthier future are being planted.
