With every seed that we planted, we sowed love.We were happy like little children while we were planting and we will continue the journey so that we can always benefit the people of the area.” This was expressed by one of the women who participated in the initiative to grow vegetables at home, which was held in the village of Al Wadhihi in Aleppo.

In an atmosphere full of joy, 16 women and children from the local community participated in planting a variety of vegetables in the home gardens of 75 families of displaced and returnees, with the aim of securing healthy food for these families.

 Moreover, this was done with the intent to benefit and make use of the large household spaces in the village and providing children with a culture of caring for the land and raising the standard of their health.

This community initiative was carried out in cooperation between the Syrian Society for Social Development and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
