As part of our commitment to sustainable development and environmental education, Young Improvers for Youth Development (YIYD) has taken another exciting step by planting fruit trees that will be nurtured in our Youth Space and greenhouse. This initiative aims not only to green our surroundings but also to inspire young people to learn about sustainable agriculture and the benefits of growing their own food.

Why Fruit Trees?

Planting fruit trees is a simple yet powerful way to make a positive impact on the environment and the community. Fruit trees improve air quality, reduce soil erosion, and enhance biodiversity. Beyond their environmental benefits, they also offer practical and educational opportunities, especially for young people. By caring for these trees, youth in our community will gain hands-on experience with sustainable gardening, learn about the importance of natural food sources, and see the long-term rewards of their efforts.

A New Addition to Our Youth Space and Greenhouse

Our Youth Space has always been a hub for growth, learning, and community, and the addition of fruit trees will enhance its role as an educational space. The trees we planted include apple, pear, and plum varieties, chosen for their suitability to the local climate and soil conditions. These trees will be carefully tended by the young people who visit our Youth Space, providing a practical, year-round lesson in sustainability.

Our greenhouse will also play a crucial role in this project, acting as a controlled environment where we can nurture younger saplings and experiment with organic growing techniques. The greenhouse allows us to extend the growing season, giving our participants a chance to care for the trees even during colder months.

Educational Opportunities for Local Youth

The fruit tree planting initiative is more than just an environmental project; it’s a hands-on learning opportunity. Youth in our programs will learn about the various stages of tree care, including planting, watering, pruning, and harvesting. We plan to hold workshops on sustainable agriculture, soil health, and the role of trees in combating climate change, all centered around these new fruit trees.

In addition, participants will explore how organic practices can impact yield and fruit quality, providing them with skills and knowledge they can use in their own homes or communities.

Growing Community and Sustainability

One of the most exciting aspects of this project is its community focus. Once the trees start bearing fruit, they will provide fresh, natural produce that we can share with local families, further reinforcing the importance of sustainable living and food security. By including fruit trees in our Youth Space and greenhouse, we hope to inspire more people in the community to plant trees, grow their own food, and make conscious choices for the environment.

Thank You to Our Supporters!

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) and our other supporters for making this project possible. Their support has enabled us to make a lasting impact on our community and provide invaluable learning opportunities for young people.

Stay tuned for updates as we continue to care for our trees and watch them grow! Together, we’re not just planting trees—we’re planting hope, resilience, and a more sustainable future for everyone.


This project is co-funded by YEE, and we are excited to share the journey of our fruit trees as they grow and become a part of our Youth Space and greenhouse community!
