Rwanda
School Garden In Rwanda, July 2006 (View the full report here) The Rwandan school garden pilot project was initiated in 20 schools to help make schoolchildren and their local communities aware of the importance of good nutrition as well as to supplement children's diets. The project was funded by FAO and implemented by the Ministry of Education, Rwanda. The pilot project was very well received and supported. There was broad support for it to be extended to other schools. The pilot project resulted in lower student dropout and repetition rates and a lower incidence of students' minor ailments such as eye problems and disturbances to the digestive tract. This was the result of various activities undertaken such as the promotion of vegetable production and consumption, milk cow farming and the promotion of balanced diets in the pilot schools.
