about under the mango tree foundation
what we have achieved with your help
Under the Mango Tree is an initiative of Lavender Ghana, a youth agriculture camp program that focuses on agriculture and its significance in sustaining our life on this earth. We harness hands-on learning activities rich in practical discovery and exploration while focusing on the importance of agriculture in our local and global society. The purpose of our camp is to magnify the relevance and significance of ethical and sustainable food production as they pertain to our day-to-day lives and our future. Engaging our young people in the virtues of equity and humanity as we explore the world of agriculture will ensure a positive and everlasting effect on their relationship with food and human beings.
