Green House Farming


In May of 2013, Auburn University Women in Science and Engineering Institute (WISE), and Penn State were gracious enough to donate funds for our first greenhouse.

Breakthrough
In November of 2013, Ms. Joann Cummings of Decatur, Alabama, sponsored our third greenhouse. Incorporating lessons, we had earlier learned, we build a screen house.

Greenhouse
We have been able to grow tomatoes, bell peppers and coriander  in the green houses



Challenges
In our first operational Greenhouses, we learned that construction can have a monumental impact on production. The Coastal region of Kenya is generally a hot and humid region and Greenhouse production had to follow certain delicate procedures. Lessons learned from our first operational greenhouses have led us to erect greenhouses that take into consideration the hot and humid weather.
