ROOTZ Rising is committed to eliminating rates of chronic and severe acute child malnutrition (SAM) by constructing 10,000 school gardens in the East Africa Community (EAC).

A non-profit off shoot of BackPack Farm, Rootz Rising is dedicated to  teaching women how to plant and harvest food locally and sustainably.

More than demonstrating the transformative power of ecologically friendly farming and food, school gardens will offer sustainable and scalable, skills training to educate rural farmers and youth, with a long term commitment to the untapped potential of women and children.
