Helping Farming Families in Northern GAZA
The project aims at targeting 100 families that live in the north of Gaza, the north has empty spaces that would enable families sustain the gardens and ultimately produce healthy food for themselves, their neighbors and their friends.
Project Summary
The project aims at targeting 100 families that live in the north of Gaza, the north has empty spaces that would enable families sustain the gardens and ultimately produce healthy food for themselves, their neighbors and their friends. Under the current circumstances of ongoing war and the lack of food supplies and the insane prices of vegetables, this idea would give hope to the people that they can grow their own food. The project also aims at growing and target the shelter centers.
We are going to support 100 families who live under the poverty line and live up to the standards such as having empty space in their house, which would enable them to sustain the project. The families would be provided with the seeds and seedlings and will be followed up and helped constantly by agricultural engineers who are going to teach them and support them throughout the entire period of the project.
Impact and Results
Each family received:
- At least 30 assorted seasonal vegetables seedlings (Palestinian summer squash, hot peppers, eggplant, cucumber and tomatoes)
- 80 grams of local seeds (dill, mulukhiya, chard),
- Compost, soil, and amendments
- Plastic planters, where needed
- Training and follow up by agriculture experts
