Ever since the Fresh Food Bank initiative was launched by our impact partner PWD Smart Farmability , PWD has been busy accumulating donations from the public in order to get hardcore struggling families who couldn't / uneducated with self sustainability gardening to have the healthiest, freshest vegetables without bleeding their minimal to no wage during this pandemic.
This time round our indigenous group of fishermen from Pulau Indah will be one of the beneficiaries to receive the Terrarium H.O.P.E Box all because of the caring donors of Nationwide and World Wide who selflessly fork out some from their reserves to help these people.
PWD is currently in progress of getting all of the boxes ready; where more photos and the entire walkthrough will be coming from PWD's official blog site later.
Real Struggles, Limited Resources
These families have not been able to even reach a basic wage ever since the Movement Control Order (lockdown) was enforced in March 2020, and with the current more serious wide spread epidemic of Covid-19 happening, this is a great option for the families to stay at home but still able to have healthy fresh greens within reach.
Even from Healthline it has been said that fresh vegetables especially Watercress, which is one of PWD's most well received terrariums, is packed with Vitamin K, along with their signature Brazilian Spinach; this is definitely one of the vital vitamins to keep the lungs healthy in such a time as this.
