The Bougenvile Women Farmers Group (Kelompok Wanita Tani/KWT) in Musi Banyuasin District continues to contribute to improving children’s nutrition. A recent harvest of 75 kg of long beans from the community nutritional garden, managed by the group with support from CARE Indonesia, PT Cargill, and the Musi Banyuasin District Government, will be used as ingredients for meals prepared by the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) in Sumber Agung Village.

The group also grows various other vegetables in the community nutrition garden, including eggplants and water spinach. Beyond helping meet families food needs, the harvest also provides an additional source of household income.

“We are finally able to harvest after the long dry season. The produce is very beneficial for our families and children. I also hope these vegetables can support the provision of nutritious meals for children, helping them grow healthier with the produce from our garden.”
