Let's give girls training for a vibrant future

The green house project is the most productive project we have.  No matter the season we are able to grow vegetables abundantly under shelter and covered facilities. This has grown our income by being able to produce more vegetables and we are excited at what more options we can look at for our green houses.

We are currently growing cucumbers and they are growing very, very well. We have started selling them to a local store and market and also on site from the Centre. They are large in size and are in demand in Zimbabwe because it is outside the growing season. Most are imported in from South Africa so ours are in high demand and selling quickly. These are currently being sold for $1.25 each. 

The cherry tomatoes are growing incredibly well and we will harvest in October. We are excited about this harvest as there are so many growing and we will be able to make a profit from this.  The December price may go up so we are expecting to generate a higher income from this.

Green to red peppers are currently growing and are also doing great. They are small at the moment but continue to grow so we will harvest roughly in two months time. In December these will be in high demand so we are expecting a great sale from these.

We are really excited about receiving and putting up another green house in the future with another 4-8 (depending on the size) being offered to us over a four year period. We are so grateful for this opportunity because it has changed the way we are farming and using our land as a resource. Exciting times ahead!
