All the efforts that have been put in our project to green 63 hectares of desert land show first results. A few weeks after we started planting the first seeds we now look over our land that is now getting green. A scent of mint is filling the air, which makes us realise how much the landscape around us changed within a short time. We want to thank everybody who helped us coming this far after such a short time!
We could already raise more than 204 000 €, bought and build up the first pivot irrigation system, planted the first seeds and now see the very first peppermint plants growing.
Next Steps
The solar-panels arrived a few weeks after planned, but now that they are there, we will be able to finish the installation of the solar-system. We are starting to plant not only 10.000 trees as promised, but 12.000 trees around the cultivated area.
