Since her first steps in Jafra rooftop initiative, Manal has continued to build on what she learned. Today, she is harvesting regularly and using her produce in her own kitchen, saving money on essential groceries while also sharing fresh vegetables with her neighbors.
Manal has also become more independent in her planting cycle, producing seeds from her own crops to replant each season. Whenever she faces challenges, she still turns to Jafra’s engineer for advice and recommendations, ensuring her rooftop remains productive year-round.
Water access remains her main obstacle, as the camp’s water supply is often salted and unsuitable for irrigation. However, with the rainwater harvesting system installed with Jafra’s support, she has learned to maximize winter rainfall to keep her rooftop thriving.
Manal’s rooftop continues to stand as a living example of resilience and resourcefulness, inspiring others in her community to consider rooftop gardening.
Your contributions will help more camp residents follow in Manal’s footsteps, turning unused rooftops into sources of food, savings, and solidarity.
Do you want me to draft this as a short add-on paragraph that you can literally paste under the previous Manal report, or keep it as a standalone “update section” like above?
