FAITH: Food Always In The Home... the gardening acronym of the BOOST (Baptist out of School Training). The healthcare teams took a crash course in FAITH gardening so that we can teach it to those in our villages. The idea is to teach people how to sustainably and organically grow food in their backyard that can help feed their families and save money. This kind of gardening is also taught to the BOOST students in their three-month training program. The garden is intended to be usable all year round by timing the planting for continued sustenance.
