Summit Highlights Greenhouse Initiative and Self-Reliance Success

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Muslim Aid have collaborated to build over 3,000 greenhouses in 84 municipalities across Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2014.

In a first for southeast Europe, humanitarian leaders, senior missionaries, and long-term collaborators of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered for an international online "greenhouse summit" to celebrate a successful self-reliance initiative.

The virtual event, held on September 25, showcased the impact of greenhouse projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are enhancing food security, strengthening families, and offering hope to vulnerable communities.

The summit was proposed by Elder Reid Bates and Sister Kathryn Bates, senior humanitarian missionaries from Olympia, Washington, currently serving in Croatia and Turkey.
