  • Highlights:
    • The project has now moved to Laayoune camp and secured long-term rights to a large piece of land.
    • A new well has been built — a huge step forward, giving the project its own reliable water source.
    • The 100-metre polytunnel is up and already growing crops, with space outside the tunnel being used too.
    • Fencing has been added to protect the crops from goats, and the team has even rented a vehicle to help deliver produce around the camps.
    • The project will be growing a mix of veg, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aubergines, onions, potatoes, lettuce, mint, and more.
    • Fundraising events like the Big Ramble 2, yard sales, marathons, and community events helped make all this possible.
    • A big thank-you goes out to supporters, including a second grant from Unicorn Grocery.
  • Next steps:
    • Keep building up regular monthly supporters to help cover running costs.
    • Continue fundraising and spreading the word.
    • Follow the website for updates on how the project is growing.
