Maintenance of the planting beds at Malanti

5 women are in charge of the cultivation beds in the Garden of Skills, a daily task carried out since 2021, when the project began in the Malanti hills in Eswatini. Growing the plants in parallel rows at right angles to the slope helps to limit run-off during the rainy season. It also limits watering by concentrating crops on smaller areas. The paths between each bed allow easy access to the crops without trampling the enriched soil.
