Nutrition gardening

Real Impact is a Kenyan Non-Governmental Organisation that helps communities understand the principles of good nutrition, and trains institutions and domestic gardeners on how to design and manage Nutrition Gardens. Here they can grow enough vegetables of the right type to meet the requirements of a balanced diet in a sustainable way, without having to resort to food aid and hand outs of vitamin A and iron tablets.

Our training courses are run at our demonstration farm and kitchen at Kichozi farm in Thika, about 50km from Nairobi. We are building a network of over 40 Nutrition Gardens in schools, hospitals, women's groups, youth groups, self-help groups, orphanages and prisons in the Thika region.

Families need to grow their own nutrition - we call this Nutrition Gardening.
