Nyaka Programs Nutrition and Community Gardens Program Vegetables grown in the community garden
The Nutrition and Community Garden program is currently implemented by a local contractor
who prepares meals for the kids. They get breakfast (milk or porridge and a roll/pastry) at 10:30am
and an assorted lunch between 1 – 2 pm. The menu for lunch changes from day to day to offer the kids
a balanced diet. The items provided for lunch include beans (regularly), meat/protein (once a week),
posho/corn mash, rice, banana paste (Matooke), sweet potatoes and/or Irish potatoes.
The Community Gardens program includes free distribution of vegetable seeds provided by Seed and Light
Inc. of Albuquerque, New Mexico (click here for website)
In addition, Nyaka continues to work with the community on promotion of agriculture and nutrition programs.
Future plans for expansion of this program include the purchase of land for a working vegetable farm.
