Our organic gardens and food programs tackle malnutrition by providing healthy meals and fresh produce to Native American children and their families. We help to establish community gardens, household gardens, and communal greenhouse programs while also integrating educational and cultural aspects and how to plant traditional gardens.
When Running Strong for American Indian Youthยฎ was formed in 1986, getting clean, safe drinking water to the residents of Pine Ridge was one of our top priorities. Previously, Running Strong satisfied this need by drilling water wells. However, the need for wells declined as the Oglala Sioux Rural Water Supply System was created and water lines were laid providing access to water. This past year throughย Dinรฉ NaabehรณTรณ (the Navajo Peopleโs Water Challenge), Running Strong connected 13 households to water in these communities, providing 92 individuals with access to clean, running water.ย ย

This year we hope to continue to support SBAG in achieving their goals. These include hosting twelve 1-hour radio programs on the local KILI station that serves the reservation. Additionally, we plan to raise 5,000 greenhouse seedlings for distribution, along with organic seeds spanning fifteen varieties for 120 gardens. We also intend to tractor-till 35 open field gardens and 85 boxed, raised-bed gardens. Moreover, we aim to provide fifty trays of microgreens to households, ensuring year-round nutrition. ๐ฑ๐พ
Support from our donors makes everything we do possible. โค๏ธ
