Save the Children's Growing Food, Resilience and Livelihoods project works across 15 communities in Solomon Islands, training families in climate-smart gardening through demonstration gardens and community nurseries, and has since been extended to more communities. In first-year household surveys, 83% of households said they could provide nutritious fruit and vegetables to children all year round, and 81% rated their gardening knowledge gain as high or very high. Households with a water source for gardening rose from 67% at baseline to 93%. These are the organisation's own survey results rather than an independent evaluation.
