Bridge Walk 2026 | Africa Vulnerable Children Project

Rising costs and shifting exchange rates have nearly doubled what it takes to run the same program we've funded for over 20 years. This campaign is about enriching what's already been planted — and making sure it continues to flourish.

As always, we'll have fun with it. Build on each other's ideas. Be carried by one another's inspiration. And practice with what arises.

Along the way, we'll hear stories of Sangha's creativity, and receive updates directly from the team in Kantolomba.

Stroll through the glorious garden Sangha planted last year and pick the ideas that most call to you to arrange your bouquet of $400.

If 250 of us raise $400, we’ll reach our goal of $100,000!

“Gardeners know that you must nourish the soil if you want healthy plants. You must water the plants adequately, especially when seeds are germinating and sprouting, and they should be planted in a nutrient-rich soil. Why should nutrition matter less in the creation of young humans than it does in young plants? I'm sure that it doesn't.”

–Ina May Gaskin
