    Situation

    Leith: Poor social skills, self-confidence, environmental knowledge, diet, knowledge/connection with the rest of the world, educational attainment; lack of exercise & exposure to sunlight; environmentally unsustainable diet; lack of employment/skills; high levels of anxiety; isolation; 'nature deficit disorder'. Vwaza: Poor diet & environmentally unsustainable farming related to lack of education & basic resources such as water & training facilities; low income; environmental degradation.

    Solution

    Leith: We'll enrich the educ. value of our site: improve nature/gardening-related signage & run related educ. programmes benefiting all, esp. the disadvantaged (e.g. vulnerable children, minorities & adults from high-SIMD areas). Vwaza: We'll support the farm in establishing reliable water & electricity supplies, improving accom. & educ. facilities, promoting their work, helping local schools visit, etc. Both: We'll build links between the projects & so promote responsible global citizenship.
