Urban Gardening

Our friend and colleague, Andai Jackson, teaching
some of the Iftin ladies about
URBAN GARDENING

It has been an exciting week in Eastleigh, as Erica and the members of the Iftin Women's Empowerment Program begin a new chapter as both Noor and the literacy class move into new space. Erica also led the ladies in building a new urban garden for Iftin. Here is a glimpse of the work, but we will have pictures of the completed garden in a few weeks.
