Together we build greenhouses

and provide additional food for many children

The temperate climate in north-eastern Tanzania means it can be difficult to have a regular supply of vegetables. The weather conditions are quite changeable, especially in the rainy season making it difficult to ensure a constant supply of fresh vegetables.

 

The easy solution to this problem was a greenhouse. A greenhouse was built and it now provides additional food for many children. This greenhouse also created the opportunity to also supply an orphanage with fresh food significantly improving the children’s diet.
