Above the family homes of Baqa’a Camp, rooftops are becoming places of sanctuary, nourishment and opportunity. Anera is helping 47 families transform these spaces into productive gardens that provide fresh vegetables at home. Using sustainable wicking bed technology, the gardens strengthen food security, reduce household costs and create opportunities to earn additional income by selling surplus produce.
More than places to grow food, these rooftop gardens are green sanctuaries where families build practical skills, expand their growing spaces and cultivate greater self-reliance, one rooftop at a time.
