GARDENS OF HOPE
The Gardens of Hope project is designed to link five communities in Lesotho, southern Africa, into a network of projects that share ideas, skills, resources and common purpose while supporting the educational needs of orphaned and vulnerable children.
| The project began in 2004 with the completion of the first tree nursery and has progressed to four tree nurseries and one greenhouse at five sites. The vision is one nursery and greenhouse at each of the five sites. Aside from the economies of scale realized by working with a number of different groups simultaneously, each group in the network will benefit from sharing resources, supplies, experience, supervision and expertise while being able to barter between themselves decreasing their cash dependency.

Ha Makhata Phelisanong Disabled Group
What links the groups together is that they are addressing HIV-AIDS, education, land rehabilitation, sustainable economic development, and food security in their communities.
Through the construction and maintenance of tree nurseries and greenhouses at these five communities, the Gardens of Hope project assists in the production of tree, vegetable, medicinal herb and fruit seedlings and crops.
