Seeds for Change
1 acre communal garden
Problem
These meaningful gifts provide seeds and tools for Native American reservations participating in the Diabetes Garden Project. This program, which has proven popular with Native youth, lowers the incidence of diabetes by returning healthful traditional foods to the family table.
The Gift
This gift will provide seeds for a 1 acre community garden. Healthy traditional foods such as corn, beans and squash help Native Americans fight an epidemic of diabetes on their reservation.
