Household gardens have always helped address food insecurity and malnutrition in neighbourhoods and this has been demonstrated by the intervention by Seriti Institute in collaboration with the Global Environment Facility (GEF) small grants programme, which started in October 2020.

The Seriti Institute project achieved its main objectives of strengthening food security by establishing at least four sustainable farming enterprises from the group of 10, while promoting permaculture farming to encourage natural farming practices.
