As part of a recent new project, this structure has been erected. Refilwe is partnering with a local church to dismantle and reconstruct this greenhouse-like structure. It was purchased for a very good price, taken to pieces, sanded, repainted, and now reconstructed at Refilwe. Currently, they are working on putting screening over the top and installing an irrigation system. This structure will be used for growing seedling trees. Some of them have already been purchased. Refilwe will grow them until they are ready to sell to local nurseries. This is for the business part of Refilwe. The plan is to have projects that produce a profit in order to support other programs at Refilwe and to make Refilwe less donor-dependent. One Saturday a large group from the supporting church came and worked with a large group of Refilwe community members to sand, paint, and begin construction of the structure. It's been exciting to see the progress.
