As the leaves start falling, our Afghan farmers are eagerly anticipating the planting of their fruit trees. Project funding to date will allow us to support 10 farmers with around 50 fruit trees each (enough to cover half a jerib of land). In addition to receiving their saplings before the end of the month, the farmers have been trained on the basics of planting, pruning, growth and pest control, tree nutrition, irrigation, and harvesting.
On behalf of our farmers and everyone at GPFA, thank you for helping to make this project possible. These fruit trees will provide increased income for Afghan families, as well as enrich the environment by improving the water, soil and air supply. Thank you!
