Green Youth with Disabilities is a cross disability group for young people located in Tanga. They initiated a project to generate income through the production and sale of organic vegetables. Through the project, participants were provided with training and subsequently prepared three acres of land for vegetable farming, built a greenhouse and installed an irrigation system. Green pepper production has been successful and profit has been generated from harvesting which has been shared with members. Some repairs of the greenhouse was made during the implementation of the project. The group ensured the use of organic fertilisers and insecticides instead of harmful chemicals. Production continues. In addition, project participants have been supported to establish vegetable gardens at their own homes for improved food security. Through GlobalGiving $120 has been raised for this project.
