During school holidays, parents often find themselves grappling with increased expenses, particularly in terms of groceries. With children at home for an extended period - a month gone and another to go - budgeting undergoes a significant shift, placing food at the forefront of financial considerations.

To navigate this fiscal challenge, the kitchen garden emerges as a practical solution, touted for its potential to slash expenses by half. Christine Anyango, a kitchen garden owner from Kiembeni, Mombasa, testifies to this. She attests that her kitchen garden has proven to be a financial saviour, especially since the closure of schools in October.
