The Home Gardening Project – 2022 implemented by HOPE Organization in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka, aims to empower 100 vulnerable women, including widows, female-headed households, breadwinners, and women with disabilities (PWDs), by promoting sustainable home gardening to strengthen household food security and improve family nutrition. The beneficiaries come from families severely affected by decades of civil conflict, limited rehabilitation support, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2022 economic and political crisis, which resulted in high inflation, food shortages, fuel scarcity, increased transportation costs, and widespread poverty that forced many families to reduce or skip meals. In response to rising food prices and malnutrition, the project organizes beneficiaries into four Self-Help Groups (SHGs) of 25 members each, with group leaders guiding gardening practices and small-scale marketing of surplus produce. Participants receive training and guidance on home gardening techniques, traditional cultivation methods, water management, and sustainable practices, along with the provision of vegetable seeds and limited agricultural inputs. The project promotes environmentally friendly approaches such as compost preparation at household level and the use of natural insecticides made from local herbs like neem. With available land space around their homes and access to basic water sources, families are encouraged to cultivate vegetables and nutritious crops for daily consumption and income generation, thereby reducing dependency, improving nutritional standards, and building long-term resilience within vulnerable communities in Trincomalee.
