May 09: Partner QBL to build greenhouses in Sojata


	This woman has created fresh healthy greens

We are currently working to construct 26 family greenhouses in the village of Sojata. This is a scattered community two hours north of the capital, La Paz. The houses are of mud bricks and straw roofs with dirt floors. Up to 60% of the adult population is illiterate. There is no running water.

Greenhouses will bring a permanent supply of fresh vegetables to the community. The plan is also to cultivate cut flowers which families can sell in La Paz, thus providing a crucial source of income in this particularly impoverished area.
