The ground has been prepared in advance of the rainy season in preparation for the massive 2025 planting project at the Rotifunk Hospital garden. Proceeds from the sale of the fruits and vegetables will be used to help with the expenses of the Hospital. Here, 250 rows have been prepared for planting nearly 2,000 Chinese yam tubers.
