Mennonite Central Committee has come to agreement with ARIJ in hopes of creating more impact in Palestine. The new 3-year project hopes to enhance the independent agro-production, food security, and livelihoods of vulnerable rural households in the southern part of the West Bank. The target area will be central and southern regions of Palestine, mainly in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron.

The project aims to help 75 households by equipping them with wicking beds and the capacity trainings to maintain a small scale production, up to 100kg of vegetables annually.
