Pumpkin Processing for Family Income

Fully Funded

WHY IT MATTERS

In our community, many families grow pumpkins, but during harvest time there is often too much to sell at once. Prices drop, and some produce goes to waste, causing families to lose income after months of work. Some parents even leave home to find more stable work elsewhere.

Families will learn to turn pumpkins into simple food products that can be stored and sold over time, such as snacks, dried pumpkin, and juice. This will allow them to earn income beyond the harvest season. Young people will also take part in safe, guided ways, learning practical skills and teamwork.

Over time, this will reduce waste, strengthen family income, and help families see more value in what they already grow.
