Vegetable gardens

As part of the "Garden Project," the volunteers brought fruits and vegetables to several women entrepreneurs in the Fruit and Vegetable Seed Tribe. They taught them some basic activities: how to extract seeds from vegetables, the correct way to plant, and how to care for the seedlings.
In a few cases where this was necessary, soil was even provided, which was transported to the site on donkeys.
After a short period of time, the seedlings began to sprout, the gardens flourished, and tomatoes and other vegetables from the garden began to be added to the family menu. They learned to turn food scraps into compost that fertilizes the garden. But not only were edible seedlings planted, but also ornamental plants that are suitable for desert conditions began to color the area green.
Although this is only the beginning of the project and it takes time to take root, the potential is already visible, allowing the tribe members to grow some of their own vegetables and fruits and improve their nutritional components. But also to cultivate their modest living environment and make it more inviting.
