The Agroforestry Resource Centre at Deusa, Solukhumbu is one of TGT’s flagship projects. It was originally concieved by our founder Robin Garton and Narayan Dhakhal (EcoHimal) and opened its doors in 2015.
Since opening it has gradually expanded, with new office space, kitchens, meeting spaces, bathrooms and accommodation being added each year. TGT has been supporting this process. Last month, work was completed on an extension to the kitchen and office block:
Three bedrooms have been added, which can accommodate up to nine people. Deusa AFRC hosts regular training events, these rooms will enable farmers to stay overnight so that two-day courses become possible for those living further away.
The additional rooms will also be used by tourists and visiting school groups. Our co-directors, Richard and Morgan will no doubt also get a chance to sleep there one day soon too!
