Global Roots

Working with local humanitarians to create Children's Gardens across the globe, Global Roots brings both physical and emotional care to the world’s most desperate children. It’s simple: all of our projects
are managed locally with intense local and external oversight —
and this has led to success in parts of the world where food aid
and assistance is usually swallowed up by corrupt government
officials and cash-starved aid workers. Global Roots is known for locally grown vegetable gardens
and chicken egg farms that source school lunch programs and community meal programs in global hot spots where most parents will send their children to school only if they can get a meal there. Bringing nutrition to children in unstable places is only part of
what we do. Our gardens also provide tranquil atmospheres for
children to play, learn and grow. Our newest program in the USA — The Greenhouse Social —
uses school-based greenhouses to tackle the greatest problems
faced by American children in the modern age: bullying/social
exclusion at school, abandonment/isolation at home and a
profound over-reliance on fast food for nutrition.
