DIG’s Mission
Report
DIG's mission is to improve the nutrition and livelihoods of some of the world's most uniquely vulnerable people by teaching them to plant restorative gardens that grow health, wealth, and a sense of belonging. For those living on the fringes, the barriers to good nutrition and meaningful livelihoods are both broad and nuanced.
Team
Report
While DIG is a US based non-profit, all of our in-country operations are implemented by local directors and facilitators, many of whom are DIG graduates. This enables DIG to adapt our programs to best meet the specific needs and wishes of the farmers we serve. Olivia started with DIG in 2013 with a vision for adapting and expanding our programs in Western Kenya.

Our History of Growth
Report
We've learned to adapt our model, succeeding across a broad range of landscapes and climates. We've cultivated steep rural mountainsides, sandy floodplains, fields that seem to go on for forever, trash dumps and concrete patios with no soil at all. We've dug for, prayed for, captured, and diverted water.
