Our 3 green houses are up and standing tall. Now it's time to plant tomatoes. The process is pretty simple. You put moist soil on these trays that looks like muffin cooking trays. Then you drop a single seed in each tray and cover it. Done!
Now we put the trays inside of the green house and wait patiently for a whole month. From then, we will transfer the new baby tomato plants to bigger sacks and distribute them between all the green houses we have. Tomatoes are picked weekly!
Before Mama Hope, Akili owned a single green house located 45 minutes away from the school. Because of you, amazing donors, now we have a total of three green houses and they are right next to where the future school building will be. The math is even simpler than planting tomatoes: 3 green houses = 3X the income! All the money made with tomato sales will pay the teachers salaries, school maintenance, and go towards the feeding program! That, my friends, is how a sustainable school does it!
