In the Kennedy 2 neighborhood, an innovative initiative was launched in February 2025, led by the Espérance de vie association and its partners from Panafricando-Aps.
The goal: To combat food insecurity and protect the environment by transforming illegal waste dumps into productive vegetable gardens.
This bold project is about more than just cleaning up the streets; it provides a tangible way for women in the community to become more self-sufficient. By growing fruits and vegetables just steps from their homes, they can now feed their families with fresh, healthy food.
The expected outcomes of this transformation are multiple: not only do neighborhoods become cleaner and the environment is preserved, but residents can also eat healthy and sustainably. This project is a great example of how a simple, targeted action can have a significant impact on people’s lives and on the health of the planet.
