Hanan Green Acres kicks off their gardening project

The Hanan Green Acres Project kickstarted its gardening competition this weekend, where five schools are competing for a first prize of N$5,000.Obedine Tsuses, project coordinator, tells us that the five schools are Narraville Secondary School, Desert View Private School, De Duine Secondary School, Kuisebmond Secondary School, and Flamingo Secondary School, comprising a total of 23 learners.“Each school will receive a space of land to create its own garden. Through this, they will learn about soil preparation, water conservation, and all the essential elements needed for a healthy garden,” she explained.The competition takes place in a community garden situated on Union Street in Walvis Bay, where each school will receive a designated gardening space. “But it&#039;s not just about teaching skills—it&#039;s also a competition that encourages students to work harder and put in more effort as they go up against each other on equal footing,” Tsuses added.She explained that they have received funding through the Walvis Bay Climate Fund. “We&#039;ve received a grant of N$100,000 from the Municipality of Walvis Bay&#039;s Youth Climate Action Fund. This funding has allowed us to launch and implement this initiative in the community. But this is just the beginning! We hope to build a long-term relationship with the students and schools involved and eventually expand this initiative to schools and communities across Namibia.”She added that she believes agriculture is the future of Namibia, and the youth are our future. “Combining these two elements is going to create something dynamic and impactful. Other schools can still get involved by supporting those already in the competition. Follow us on social media, interact with us, and mark your calendars for our open day in September. We invite schools and the community to come out, see what the students are working on, and encourage them to keep going.” “We invite the community to join us in making this initiative a success. Let&#039;s make something amazing happen together!”
