When Sara Ayuni first dug her hands into the soil of a Nibong Tebal schoolyard, she wasn’t chasing big plans or government policies. She simply wanted to show the neighbourhood children that food could come from the ground right in front of them.

What began as a modest garden has grown into Kebun Didik Komuniti SPS, a place where women, housewives, and schoolchildren learn how to plant, harvest, and even earn a little extra from what they grow.

With the help of a microgrant from Think City’s Levelling Up Seberang Perai (LUSP) programme, Sara’s (above) idea of food security and education has blossomed into a shared space of learning and possibility.
