The eco-village at Othaya was established several years ago to provide youth a place where they can live and work as they transition to independent living. Currently three youth are living and working there to help provide the Centre with fresh produce for the children. Vegetable production there has taken off this season. The youth have cleared additional land and planted green peppers, tomatoes and cabbages, with bananas in the perimeter. With food prices tripling due to the drought, it’s important they produce what they can, as they still have to purchase corn and other basic needs.
The eco-village site is also used to host events and is being developed for eco-tourism. It's a beautiful setting with many charms! Your support helps provide opportunities for the youth and education and care for the children – thanks for all you do!
