At the heart of Upendo House is a commitment to sustainability and holistic health. The Sustainable Agriculture and Culinary Arts program teaches participants hands-on gardening, food preparation, and agricultural entrepreneurship. By connecting participants to the land, this program fosters a sense of responsibility for the environment, promotes food security, and creates pathways to workforce development in the culinary and agricultural sectors.

Food connects us—to the earth, to one another, and to our well-being. This program immerses participants in gardening, culinary arts, and sustainable practices, fostering a deep sense of responsibility and self-sufficiency. Together, we grow more than just food—we grow hope, skills, and thriving communities.
