Projects

Olive Tree Plantation

In the West Bank, our Olive tree plantation project provides seeds, fertiliser and farming equipment to smallholder farmers to assist them in growing olive and fruit trees. We also assist in providing local market access by which such farmers can sell produce for profit.

Kitchen Gardening

We are working with women in the Sindh region of Pakistan to provide them with equipment and training to grow staple vegetables that will not only produce food for consumption, but surplus will also be sold inside the community.

Irrigation Systems

The importance of fully functioning irrigation systems are vital to underpinning resilience in agricultural livelihoods. We are working with our teams on the ground to identify and begin project planning of irrigation systems in communities most affected by drought and desertification.

Water Wells

As a part of our water for life project, GRF has long been constructing water wells in several countries including hard to reach communities such as Hodeidah in Yemen, The Ouaddai region of Chad and Cox Bazar. Our networks have allowed us to bring water security to communities otherwise reliant on sporadic and short term water aid.
