This program provides beneficiaries with the responsibility of caring for living things, which is a practice that enhances their confidence as well as their ability to nurture. Planting and watering plants allows the beneficiaries to hone their gardening skills, and also provides the institution with funds through the selling of plants to the community. Caring for animals also grants the beneficiaries connection to animals, which can be invaluable, as they may struggle with connecting meaningfully to the people in their lives.
