Our organic gardens and food programs tackle malnutrition by providing healthy meals and fresh produce to Native American children and their families. We help to establish community gardens, household gardens, and communal greenhouse programs while also integrating educational and cultural aspects and how to plant traditional gardens.
When Running Strong for American Indian Youthยฎ was formed in 1986, getting clean, safe drinking water to the residents of Pine Ridge was one of our top priorities. Previously, Running Strong satisfied this need by drilling water wells. However, the need for wells declined as the Oglala Sioux Rural Water Supply System was created and water lines were laid providing access to water. This past year throughย Dinรฉ NaabehรณTรณ (the Navajo Peopleโs Water Challenge), Running Strong connected 13 households to water in these communities, providing 92 individuals with access to clean, running water.ย ย

"It is extremely important to raise Native Voices and perspectives for the purpose of keeping our Hawaiian culture, traditions, and lifestyles alive. The stories we capture from our Native people need to be shared. Kupuna will leave behind a legacy for their families and communities, ensuring that their stories, language, and wisdom are preserved for future generations.
