Another 10 greenhouses – Thanks Nick!

Another 10 greenhouses have been added to the already 173 greenhouses starting to dot the rural landscape of Western China. Thanks to a generous donor named Nick, more families now have the opportunity to grow fresh produce almost all year round. Extra and more efficient growing months will increase their income, allow their children to continue their schooling and even possibly continue through to university. Following a recent inspection of several project sites by Captivating CEO, Andrew Colquhoun, he is convinced these Greenhouses are moving all of these families forward towards a brighter future. 

We are so close to reaching our goal of 200 greenhouses with only 17 left to fund. Like Nick, you too can make the difference to a child’s life by funding a greenhouse for a family.

Our continued thanks to GPA – Global for their generous MATCHING OF ALL DONATIONS to make this program possible.  Thanks to GPA Globals support, US$225 is all it takes for an individual donor to sustain-ably increase a family’s income FOREVER. Great solution. Great donor. Thanks Nick, and thanks GPA-Global.
