    Om programmet

    The jungle project is an ongoing initiative that operates throughout the year, running from January 2nd to December 22nd annually.

These activities include house and latrine construction, machete-assisted trail maintenance, reforestation, agricultural projects, and afternoon sessions dedicated to crafting.
