Summit Highlights Greenhouse Initiative and Self-Reliance Success
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Muslim Aid have collaborated to build over 3,000 greenhouses in 84 municipalities across Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2014.
In a first for southeast Europe, humanitarian leaders, senior missionaries, and long-term collaborators gathered for an international online "greenhouse summit" to celebrate a successful self-reliance initiative.
- The initiative helps families set up greenhouses to grow fruits and vegetables.
- It improves food security, strengthens families, and offers new hope to vulnerable communities.
The virtual event highlighted the far-reaching impact of greenhouse projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The summit was proposed by Elder Reid Bates and Sister Kathryn Bates, senior humanitarian missionaries from Olympia, Washington, currently serving in Croatia and Turkey.
