There will be self-policing of the trees to prevent stealing etc.
Project budget is $28,000
Total raised to date is $25,600. A shortfall of $2,400.
Objective is to finish this project during the current Rotary year
There are 3 key areas: -
Health, Security & Education
The trees have not been planted yet until the infrastructure has been set up
Planting will start in the rainy season, will be using a variety of orange trees as Orange trees take 3 years to produce and will be using the variety of oranges that will produce 3 times the yield. This project should be able to produce revenue so will no longer have to depend on donors, 15 acres of land is well established to support the site and will be creating the necessary environment so once it is set up will remain in place.
