    Situation

    Land at the home, for growing produce, is exposed to adverse weather and resultant crop failure. Water supplies are scarce and unreliable. Fruit and vegetables have to be bought at considerable cost and at some distance. The economics of the home are fragile and a reduction in costs will improve its sustainability. Local migrant workers, returning as a consequence of the Covid 19 crisis, have no work, and they, their families, and other villagers are facing hunger and general hardship.

    Solution

    Establish 3 pit greenhouses to grow crops locally in a protected environment with a secure water supply. Crop yields will increase and be more reliable. The home will become more food self sufficient and its costs will reduce. Provide employment and training to returning workers and other local villagers facing adversity during the current pandemic. Children at the home will learn agriculture related skills to enhance their longer term life prospects.
