Micro Finance for Youth Students Become Organic Gardeners |
| There's
always "one more thing" to be done, and in our pilot program of MFY, nothing
could be more true. One of the problems encountered in providing training and assistance to the students is hunger. So, we enlisted the aid of Cora Bailey to send an organic gardening expert to Sizathina High School. |

Crops grown on this plot of land at the high school will be used to feed students in after-school programs, provide food for hungry students at the school for lunch, and will provide products for MFY participants to sell at the "Student Commerce Center" in order to earn money as well as offset the costs of the programs. | ||
| What may be most important in this particular project is the fact that the knowledge they gain is knowledge they can use for the rest of their lives - for their families' nutrition, and to develop the incredibly fertile lands of the Kwazulu-Natal into productive farmlands. |
