MY WORLD, MY GARDEN POWERED BY MAWO
The challenge is not in providing food to developing countries, but in creating a long-term solution to the food depravation issue, so communities can become self-sufficient. Therefore, we developed a solution: Via various techniques and training, communities learn to build skills to provide food sustainably all year round to their families without outside help. From there, My World in A Garden, Vertical Food Garden was developed as a part of My Arms Wide Open initiatives in Africa.

Our solution is to build vegetable gardens that are maintained by the communities themselves in Africa.
The gardens have a double impact: providing fresh, healthy vegetables and fruits daily to hundreds of families and providing employment within the community. Each garden employs 8 persons and generates monthly revenue into communities, which also supports the ongoing maintenance of the garden. We could raise employment opportunities in each community by 20% per year and develop a long-term solution.

Take action with the My World in a Garden fundraiser.
The initiative of "My World My Garden" targets all three key factors: business skills, community engagement and capacity building. This project has created a funding model built around food growing and harvesting toward never-hungry communities throughout Africa. With the help of our donors, we are looking to build 10 garden in Africa by the end of 2017.
