According to Robyn Love, SPI's President and CEO, the grant will support Ugandan teachers as they work with students from agricultural clubs to write poems about gardening, growing food, and reducing hunger.   

Winners will then be selected and will receive an award of either scholastic materials or partial scholarships.

The winning poetry and recorded videos will be highlighted in newsletters, blogs, or social media.

SPI is working with its local partner, SCINE (Sustainable Community Initiative for Empowerment), to implement the grant.
