Throughout 2023, DIG is excited to host a traveling series of Cocktails & Castoffs events. These multi-city gatherings will support From the Ground Up an initiative to fully equip DIG’s Local Facilitators as they grow and adapt our programs in Kenya, Uganda, and Senegal.
These men and women are preparing the most marginalized members of society to become key contributors to resilient local food systems.
DIG’s 2023 Cocktails & Castoffs event series invites us to imagine what more resilient local and global food systems can look like by connecting our stories around the world. The money raised will equip DIG’s Local Facilitators with the resources they need to grow DIG’s work serving uniquely marginalized communities of society.
The word Facilitate means to make easy, and that is what these women and men do in the field do every day. Coming from within the communities we serve, DIG’s Local Facilitators are uniquely positioned to understand the complex challenges facing these farmers, and they actively remove the barriers for the most marginalized to thrive and grow From the Ground Up.
