School Gardens Project: 38th school garden implemented in Presidente Prudente

19.11.2015

 

HE Presidente Prudente (2)

The latest school garden in São Paulo is not even finished and yet we already started the next one. It marks the 38th garden of our School Gardens Project.

However, it is located in Presidente Prudente, a city in the interior of the state São Paulo. This garden was implemented in the EM Profᵃ Odette Duarte da Costa and is supported by the NGO Moradia e Cidadania. The public school serves a socially vulnerable neighborhood.

CITIES WITHOUT HUNGER’s project partner, the NGO Moradia e Cidadania, was founded by the employees of the Caixa Econômica Federal and supports citizenship of socially vulnerable people with a focus on education, work and income generation and the fight against hunger and misery.

Works began on the 11.10.2015 by constructing ten vegetable beds. Shade nets were installed due to the intense insolation. The first plantation was performed together with the students.

During CITIES WITHOUT HUNGER’s second visit to Presidente Prudente on the 6th and 7th of November 2015, the beds were rearranged and plants more resistant to the strong sun were replanted. The soil was covered with straw, a measure which protects the soil and retains humidity. The students dedicatedly participated in all activities.

The vision of this project is to amplify the garden continuously and to include the local community in taking care of the garden.

About the organisation

CIDADES SEM FOME (CITIES WITHOUT HUNGER) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which has set up sustainable agrarian projects in urban and rural areas based on organic farming. The aim is to help and teach people to manage their own business and become financially independent. Community Gardens, School Gardens and Agricultural Greenhouses have been developed on unused and neglected public and private areas within social focal points to provide jobs and improve the diets of adults and children. In 2009 the Small Family Farms Project, the organizations fourth project, has been set up in Rio Grande do Sul, to train farmers in multiple cropping as an alternative to monoculture and help them starting new businesses in organic farming.

CITIES WITHOUT HUNGER was founded in 2004 in São Paulo by Hans Dieter Temp, who has a degree in Business Administration, and is a Technician for Agriculture and Environmental Policies. In 2013 Hans Dieter Temp was selected and awarded with the title Social Entrepreneur “Changemaker” by Ashoka. CITIES WITHOUT HUNGER has received numerous national and international awards, such as the Milton Santos Award in 2014, created to honor entities and people who have contributed with the city of São Paulo. In 2012 CITIES WITHOUT HUNGER was selected by Caixa Econômica Federal for its commitment to the realization of the UN-Millennium Goals. The organization was also awarded with the Dubai International Award for Best Practices 2010 (UN-HABITAT).
