The change of dry arid land into life sustaining year round gardens that provide vegetables and many nutrients can be the difference between a child’s survival or starvation in harcher drought periods. Garden sponsorship has various levels including initial seeds that costs about $100, ploughs, hoes and the ultimate need for fencing that costs about $3,000 for a full garden that supports about 50 families. Gardens can all be outfitted with a water well ($7,000) to aid the irrigation or use various types of drip irrigation equipment if there is nearby water that can be fetched by buckets and transported to the drip irrigation equipment ($1,000 per garden).
