We have recently supported:
The development of three nurseries as businesses for three individuals,
A demonstration garden offering training and fresh food, grown in gardens and under plastic,
A small refugee run business – (Crisis Response Gardens) making, sourcing and assembling emergency growing kits to be distributed to communities in crisis.
We are in discussion with camp authorities about making a large strip of land available to be used as a small commercial farm. This will create opportunities for employment as well as dealing with water run off from the camp.
