At the haven, Sophia has been growing plants in their nursery for a few years now, then at the end of last she began a new project growing Moringa trees. The Moringa tree is also known as the Miracle tree because it offers a plethora of health benefits . Fast and easy to grow in the right climate: tropical and sub-tropical. Moringa is loaded with nutrients and many of the plants parts are edible and includes the leaves, bark, oil, and gum. If enough trees can be grown they will be able to sell the product to processing companies for additional income. To make the project sustainable they need to grow at least 1000 trees and on our last visit they were well on their to achieving that target. this will be a tremendous achievement.
Before Christmas we provided money to enable the purchase polythene growing pots, compost and tools plus the purchase of a new electric cooker as the old one is broken and beyond repair. There would still have been some money left to buy some Christmas goodies for the family.
