Agriculture Project Building a Healthier Community


Clearing the land to plant the fruit trees.
May 31, 2010

HISG is working with a community in the Middle East to plant an orchard that will bring in income for an entire village. The families in the community have already cleared land and planted dozens of new fruit trees. The orchard is terraced to make the most out of a small tract of land, and the whole village is buying into the idea that this project will benefit everyone in the community. In fact, the man who owned the machinery used to till the soil chose to lower the rental prices of his equipment significantly, just because he wanted to be a part of helping the orchard get started. This project has just begun, but it is slowly bringing together people who, for quite some time, have been wary and suspicious of anyone trying to help.
