for Empowerment

Sustainable Community Initiative for Empowerment (SCINE), in partnership with Seed Programs International (SPI) and Poetry X Hunger, implements the Growetry project—a school gardening and poetry initiative in Kampala, Uganda. This project offers students hands-on agricultural education while promoting food security and improved nutrition. By integrating poetry into the program, children creatively express their experiences and reflect on the importance of farming. The combination not only enhances literacy and artistic skills but also strengthens their connection to local food systems, making learning both inspiring and practical. The initiative supports teachers and students from eight schools in organizing Urban Farmers Clubs, where students improve their gardening spaces and write poems about growing food and reducing hunger. The winning school for the best-recited poem receives an award of scholastic materials.

KATWE CENTRAL PRIMARY SCHOOL POEM

In the city, a garden grows X2
fresh veggies and fruits, for everyone to know.
health and bright, giving us energy too.
helping our bodies and our hearts are new
people work together, side by side.
planting and watering, with love and pride.
even on the verander, yes you can. making their community a happier place. sharing fresh
food with a smiling face.
on a small scale, a lot is got
helping us how, to feel complete.
let’s keep planting and watch things grow.
urban gardening, which nourishes us well.
nousrishing our world, with love and light!
