Sustainable Agriculture
Project TEN creates sustainable projects in developing communities. In each of our centers, we work closely with local partners. We value humility, providing assistance that the community wants. We know that understanding the local culture is a long process.
In order to promote sustainable agriculture we initiate the following projects in our centers around the world:
Project TEN volunteer projects take place predominantly in the community of Pluma Hildalgo. Our aim is to empower and support the local community through self-sufficiency, health education and informal programming for the community's youth.
