More than just a website, KGI is a 9,000 person, 100 country-strong network of "gardeners helping gardeners." We're helping gardeners - both experienced and new - through education, networking and small grants. For the time being, these grants are being offered on an ad hoc basis according to the funds we have available. Below are some examples of how KGI is helping to grow more healthy gardens and gardeners worldwide.

	KGI helps thousands of gardeners every day through its busy, informative website.  We're also helping to plant the next generation of American gardeners by helping schools to start new kitchen gardens. KGI assistance to schools takes the form of in-kind donations of materials and technical assistance.
	KGI provided funding to Centro Escolar Los Gramales (The Gramales Scholastic Center)of Morazan, El Salvador. Aiming to add vegetables to the traditional community diet of beans, rice and tortillas, the school started a kitchen garden with tomatoes, peppers and pipian, a type of squash. Many local parents are now beginning to compost and garden with their children at home.
	KGI provided a small grant to help the women farmers of Kathmandu, Nepal.In this cold region with mainly yak farming and little fertile land, most of the people suffer from malnutrition. The kitchen garden program was launched to improve the health of the community. The two women shown are working in their new cauliflower field.
	KGI is currently working with the Organic Agriculture Center of Kenya to help increase food security by helping to train farmers in economical and organic practices using indigenous plant varieties, by helping home gardeners to have more successful gardens, and by planting new school gardens.
	KGI provided funding to Vanastree, the Malnad Forest Garden & Seed Keepers’ Collective, Sirsi, Karnataka State, India. Funds are being used to train women subsistence gardeners to save their own seeds and add value to their garden produce which they can sell at local markets.
