Greenhouse Experiment for Self Sufficiency

Raja Ahmed Zaqzuk, a 48-year-old Palestinian woman, confers with CARE field worker Maisa Shquier (R) in her greenhouse, on 11 September 2008; in Al Jadida village near Jenin.

Zaqzuk, is apart of an experiment for self sufficiency by growing seasonal vegetables and fruit in a environmentally friendly greenhouse supplied and supported by CARE in a project which is funded by the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office.

While some contend that this project is for needy families, it has been reported as strictly and experiment for self sufficiency which is becoming more of a global project alternative for stabilization for countries that are actually improvised.

These types of projects are very important in Palestine, with the belief of helping to better certain problems such as the global food crisis in third and forth world countries; to have a chance at better lives and living conditions.

For it is a firm belief not just in Islam, but also Judaism; to always help one’s fellowman in what ever there need may be.
