Provide Training: Sponsor a Community Change Agent
to Let’s End Hidden Hunger for 1,650 Adults and 850+ Children
by Thrive For Good
Students with a passion for community development come to our Academy in Kitale, Kenya for hands-on experiential learning in the core methods for growing health. Upon graduating with a ‘Growing Health Certificate’, these community influencers go out and train others in villages, urban zones, schools, orphanages, prisons, HIV Groups and even hospitals.
Each community "Life Garden" is made up of approximately 40 garden beds (100sqft each). These bio-intensive nutrition producing beds produce enough food to feed 1x person, each and every day.. with healthy food. Make a difference today and sponsor a garden bed and change a life.
Growing superfoods is only half the battle in ending hidden hunger and using food as medicine. In many communities, the only food that’s regularly cooked is cornmeal. But making the shift to nutrient-dense food prep requires skills and knowledge. Thrive nutrition trainers teach communities hands-on how to prepare the foods that grow healthy kids and keep families disease-free.
Each community garden needs the power of seeds to start. Once the garden beds are dug, prepared and ready, seeds are needed to get started. Within 30-45 days we start seeing the 'fruit of our labour' as produce is ready to harvest. You can supply an entire community garden with seeds today.
You can make a difference and sponsor all of the supply and seed costs for an entire community garden. A "Life Garden" empowers an impoverished community to be self-sufficient, starting with nutrition. When people can take health into their own hands, they have new dignity and pride. Nutritional-security also gives them hope for a better future without the constant burden of disease.

Over 95% of meals for inmates are corn-based, leading to horrific malnutrition, disease and nearly 1 preventable death per week. Many prisoners are parents with children in prison with them. Help us train and empower over 100 inmates to plant gardens and grow health. The impact changes lives beyond prison, as inmates leave prison with the skills to create Life Gardens for their families, communities and generate income.
Support the creation of Life Gardens and the power of nutrition to change the lives of children. Life Garden programs at schools prevent disease, stunting and improve school attendance. Your impact goes further when excited students take their gardening skills home and develop kitchen gardens for their families.
Change the life of an individual forever by supporting them as they go through our Master Organic Agricultural training program. After our 2 year program, trainers go out to impact the lives of more than 1,000 people through growing Life Gardens.
