ALLEVIATING HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION

ONE FAMILY AT A TIME

HomeGrown Nutrition Program

"God satisfies my mouth with good things so that I stay young and strong like an eagle." -- Psalm 103:5

The "HomeGrown Nutrition Program" (HGNP) began in the fall of 2003 in an effort to ease hunger and malnutrition among people living on the former dump in Juarez, Mexico.

To date, HGNP has placed 25 gardens in a community that sits atop the former dump in Juarez, Mexico. All of the gardens are getting lots of loving care and are producing an abundance of fresh organic food for the caregivers. The gardens that HGNP supplies to the people of Juarez are self-contained and are planted in a micro-intensive and continual harvest way. This guarantees that any toxicity in the ground will not contaminate the produce being grown. It also allows people with very little space to still have gardens for their families.

It is the hope of the HGNP to expand its scope of aid to low income people in Juarez, MX, our own community of Albuquerque, and beyond. We need financial support to help us do this. Each garden costs $250 (including soil, seeds, organic fertilizer, and a protective covering that enables year round gardening). The CAC has been covering staff and transportation costs but HGNP will need additional funding if it is going to continue to grow.

	HGNP is a hunger relief program that seeks to respect, empower, and support its members while trying to move them towards complete control and self sustainability in regards to the gardens.
HGNP assists the families in setting up and planting the gardens and then provides the information and training needed to help the gardens to flourish. Ongoing support is also provided to help answer any questions and to correct any problems that may arise.
