Time in the garden
Time spent in her garden is proving fruitful for Aminata.

Aminata and her daughter harvest potatoes.

Aminata is a busy housewife. With only three of her five children in school, her days are filled with household activities. On Tuesdays and Saturdays she also has a stall in the local market.
When World Vision established a fruit and vegetable garden in her village, Aminata realised learning about gardening could help her family.
Now she spends some of each day working in her garden, growing a variety of vegetables, such as potatoes, beans, turnips, parsley, leeks and celery. She no longer has to buy vegetables for her children’s meals, and earns money for her family by selling any extra vegetables at the market. So far she has invested her earnings in clothes, shoes and school supplies for her children.
“I am so grateful to World Vision for giving us this garden,” she says. “It helps me to increase my income, lighten my husband’s expenses and improve our diet and health”.
