The founder and trustees of Fruit For Our Children are “ordinary” New Zealander’s, which means we are pro-active, number 8 wire Kiwis. Some of us are old enough to remember fruit trees in virtually every back yard and some of us are young & inspired to bring back the simple wisdom of eating real food, grown in our own communities, free for the picking.
We recognise how far we have gone from these simple self sustainable principles and pleasures. We recognise the urgency of this and are here to get our hands dirty, spread our health dollars and refocus the concept we should be putting time and energy into health and wellness not sickness and medical expenses.
The founder, Dana Louise Stewart, is a young visionary who wants to see all children have access to nourishing food that meets their nutritional needs. To grow up with healthy choices and share in the satisfaction of growing, harvesting and eating their own fruit.
The Trustees have created a plan to turn this vision into a reality with extensive networking country wide, including Transition Towns, Marae, Schools, Churches, Government Agencies and Back Yards everywhere.
Fruit For Our Children recognises the truth behind the good old saying
”You Are What You Eat”
