Americas In the Americas region, children, youth and adults in
ChildFund-supported communities are joining hands to help break
the cycle of poverty while working toward protecting and
preserving a sustainable environment. Check out some of the
exciting green projects that are under way from the U.S.A. to
Brazil. Sustainable Ag in the U.S. The Wyan Toka Win community
garden in South Dakota is a ChildFund U.S. program that involves
children and youth in promoting sustainable agriculture and the
consumption of fresh, natural products. Families in the
community are taking surplus vegetables and fruits they raise in
the garden and selling them at the local farmer’s market to
generate additional income. Innovative Farming, Water Use and
Soil Conservation in Mexico In Mexico’s Totonaca region, 450
families have learned innovative agricultural techniques and are
