What Humanism Means to Us

To us, humanism is a way of life that emphasizes human dignity, cooperation, and responsibility. It encourages us to use reason and practical solutions to improve our living conditions and support one another. Humanism inspires us to take action in our community, promote fairness, and create opportunities that benefit everyone. Through shared effort and mutual respect, we believe we can build a more sustainable and secure future.

Project Description

The Korhogo Humanist Movement proposes to establish a community humanist garden to grow staple food crops such as maize, yam, cassava, vegetables, and other locally consumed produce. The purpose of this project is to create a sustainable source of food and income for our members while also supporting the wider community.

Access to affordable and nutritious food remains a challenge for many people in our area. By cultivating a shared garden, we aim to address this issue while also generating income through the sale of surplus produce. The garden will be managed collectively by group members, encouraging teamwork, responsibility, and practical engagement with our humanist values.

The produce grown will serve two purposes:

• Support members with affordable food

• Generate income through local sales

This project will strengthen food security, reduce dependence on external sources, and provide a reliable, sustainable activity for the group.

Budget

• Seeds (maize, vegetables, and other staples) — $260

• Basic farming tools (hoes, cutlasses, watering cans) — $120

• Protective materials (fencing or simple barriers) — $80

Total: $600
