@eastGrow working with internally displaced families by planting drought resilient nutritional quinoa and drip irrigation for vegetables
By 2050, 2/3 of the world's population could be living under water-stressed conditions. We can’t take this precious resource for granted. We need to change our actions now! How are you saving #water? #WWWeek

@EastGrow is thankful for the vision and leadership of John Batcha, SPI’s Founder. His name and initiative will last for many lives. The world needs more John Batcha and GrowEadtAfrica is grateful to participate in initiative of improving the livelihood of most in need people
We are sad to share that John Batcha, SPI’s Founder, passed away last week. Founded in 1998 and since then, more than 1 million gardens have been planted over 200 sites throughout 75 countries worldwide. John’s legacy is one of heart, hope, and connection.
@EastGrow thanks you all for your hard work to improve livelihoods of needy families globally.
The Aftermath - surrounded by seeds! Here are SPI Staff Katie and Rosanna, along with friends from @MDRtweet and @FoodForThePoor - having just worked with #mdrtam2019 volunteers to fill 20,000 packets with seed so that people can grow food they need.
