How Your Gift of Water Sparked a Growing Movement

When clean water first reached Irimya, it was life-changing.

Now, thanks to your support, that impact has literally grown.

In 2023, Acts for Water partnered with Thrive for Good to launch Life Gardens: community-led, educational gardens that equip families to grow nutrient-rich, disease-fighting foods at home.

Built on 140 double-dug beds, these gardens are thriving – and so are the families tending them. As one community member put it, “with this garden now, we can choose what to eat and when to eat it.”

Through hands-on training, mentorship, and community ownership, families have gained vital skills in composting, seed saving, and natural pest control. These aren’t just gardens; they’re classrooms for long-term resilience where people are finding a place of connection, pride, and leadership.

“Families now access nutritious vegetables, reducing malnutrition cases and hospital visits as reported by health care facility staff during a focus group discussion.”
