The Growing Hope Movement was born out of the civil and social unrest that took place in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa in July 2021. It became clear that food insecurity is a national security risk.
Planting food gardens is a peacebuilding initiative and a courageous act.

 

Growing Hope aims to initiate and seed permaculture food gardens all over South Africa, so that children, schools, communities, and families can reconnect with the earth and be inspired to grow their own food. Education is a key factor in this process of learning self-reliance and self sovereignty.

 

Mission 2022 is the first step.
