Mary is proud of her small garden in Haiti.
With help from the local CMMB agronomist in Côtes-de-Fer, Mary is learning to develop a gardener's "green thumb." It's hard for people and plants to thrive in this dry area. However, with encouragement and diligent watering, a small but steady supply of vegetables can sometimes mean the difference between a meal for Mary's family of five and going hungry.
