THE 2006 PROGRAMME ACTIVITIES

The key to success for any program of rural development lies in its ability to be sustainable. Actions must be designed to focus on their potential to initiate income generating activities. Thus to the ongoing organic gardening and water management project and to the production of yufka, a flat village bread and Kerkenes Krakers, crisp bread made from yufka, were added the activities designed around the solar cooking and drying of fruit and vegetables.

Solar cooked vegetables and fruit preserved in air-tight jars were sold at several kermeses. A simple water heating system was also built and the solar building featuring a sunspace will be completed in 2007.
