May is one of my favourite months, as trees come into full leaf in hopeful beauty. I'm privileged to live in a place where I have easy access to open spaces and nature, and can afford a wide variety of locally produced food. So in my photo challenge this year, I'll celebrate 70 different trees while inviting support to help people in much tougher circumstances grow fresh food.
Christian Aid Week this year features a project they fund in Nairobi, Kenya, giving families crowded informal settlements the training and equipment to create tiny urban farms near their homes. Check out the illustrated stories on the website showing mothers Belinda and Fridah. Find out how growing spinach, beetroot, maize, kale, tomatoes and indigenous vegetables — some to feed their families and some to sell - has changed their lives.
I'll share a selection of the photos on this page through the month, and make a slideshow available at the end.
