Kham Aid Foundation
School Greenhouse Program

Better nutrition for Tibetan schoolchildren

In this program we're providing greenhouses to rural schools so they can grow fresh, nutritious food for their children.  Because of the high elevation of the Tibetan plateau, vegetables don't grow well; they must be trucked in from faraway lowlands which makes them unaffordable for schools, who struggle to feed children for less than $5 per child per month.  A greenhouse change all of that.  For details, see the links below
