Feedback and ideas

What would you do about malnutrition?

We are four students with one wall of bottles and a lot left to learn. If you have seen something that works — or something we are getting wrong — we would rather hear it than not.

Tell us what you think of the project, or send an idea for beating malnutrition where you are: a crop that grows well in a small space, a cheap meal that actually fills children up, a place that needs a garden, a mistake we should stop making. We read all of it, and the good ones end up in the method.

Nothing here is stored. Sending opens your own email app with the message already written, so you can see exactly what goes to us.

What helps most

Useful things, in the order we run out of them

  • Plastic bottles

    Any size from half a litre up. Rinsed is kinder, but we wash them anyway. Caps on.

  • Seedlings and seed

    Kale, spinach, spring onion, coriander, dhania, managu — anything that keeps producing after a cut.

  • Soil and compost

    The single thing we buy. A sack goes further than any donation of money the same size.

  • Twine, wire and hooks

    Boring, and the reason a wall of bottles stays on the wall.

  • A wall

    Sunny, reachable, and somewhere people walk past. If you have one, we will bring the rest.

  • An hour

    Cutting and drilling days go faster with more hands. No experience needed — we had none either.
