In the bustling heart of Kenya, where sunlight paints the earth in warm hues, a quiet revolution is taking root.

Torch Initiatives CBO is transforming schoolyards into vibrant kitchen gardens using a simple yet powerful tool: Recycled milk crates.

These unassuming crates, once destined for the recycling bin, are finding new purpose as the foundation for a thriving plant-based bounty. Their inherent strengths make them perfect for Kenya's small spaces. Unlike sprawling fields, these crate gardens thrive in cramped corners, patios, and even rooftops. Their portability allows teachers to adjust the garden layout for optimal sunlight,

With Torch initiative guidance, these transformed crates become crucibles of life. Plant Based Vegetables, Kale, spinach, and tomatoes, once distant dreams now sprout from their recycled havens. The children, the true gardeners in this story, learn not just about cultivation but also about resourcefulness.
