“Eating Healthily”

Country: Egypt, Cairo

The aim of the project is to improve the living conditions of ten women in the Beaulac district of Cairo, through an income-generating activity. The women prepare healthy dishes full of fruit and vegetables for 1000 pupils and 50 teachers at the “Collège Saint Vincent de Paul” secondary school. These dishes allow pupils and teachers to eat in a healthier way, and the profits generated give the women beneficiaries an income to support their families. Read more

Common Vegetable Garden

Country: France, Saint-Valery-en-Caux, Normandy

The AIC volunteers from Saint-Valery-en-Caux in France have set up a vegetable garden for people living in poverty. The objectives are clear: provide healthy and seasonal fruits and vegetables and valorise the vegetable garden, the people that work in it and the food that is produced.

The project allows the people involved to gain nourishment and benefit from seasonal, high quality vegetables. For everyone it’s a way of recovering everyday skills… and those of the past which have been lost, even in a rural area.

It is an easy activity to implement in terms of resources, but it requires consistency and some humility in the face of the vagaries of nature, as no two years are ever the same. It is a way of learning to live with the rhythm of the seasons. Read more

Country: Ukraine, Kharkiv – East of the country
