Focus of the Year
This year our focus is on Strawberries! Puja, from Nepal, found out that strawberries can be a wonderful way to increase her income. She says "I first brought one strawberry plant and planted it in a pot and I was able to get good fruit. My family and I decided to do the whole field after that.”
Puja's Journey
- Innovation: Puja used what she learned about climate adaptation and leadership to experiment with growing strawberries.
- Expansion: After her first plant thrived, she explored ways to grow berries on a larger scale.
- Community Impact: Longtime friend Ishwor Man Magar used his funding to buy a cow and now sells milk; Puja supported his success.
- Goal: Your registration money will go towards families in Nepal that want to raise strawberries!
