Stopping hunger

With the help of supporters like you, Oxfam is supporting women in Sri Lanka to start home gardening businesses and grow their way out of poverty. With the right seeds, tools and knowledge, women like Chandrani are creating successful vegetable gardens, cultivating exactly the kind of veges we mentioned above: beans, capsicum, beetroot, spinach, radish and more.

Not only are they growing enough veges to feed their families, but they’re able to sell the surplus and earn a livelihood in the process.
