The Rotary Club of Salmaniya has partnered with various societies to carry out projects regarding sustainable farming, supporting the environment, education of farming, educating beneficiaries, and to encourage locally grown produce in Bahrain.

The club has been helping communities in Bahrain for more than 50 years now.

It focuses on seven areas, namely basic education and literacy, disease prevention and treatment, water sanitation and hygiene, community economic development, maternity and child health, supporting the environment, and peacebuilding and conflict prevention.

The greenhouse project, sustainable farming program, and the permaculture educational program aimed to support the environment and basic education of farming.

Additionally, these projects aim to promote zero waste life, as well as promote and encourage the local farming economy. Hasan Al Mansoor, President of the Rotary Club of Salmaniya, told The Daily Tribune: “We have demonstrated that local farming is possible and we encourage others to participate in sustainable living in the Kingdom.”

He further expanded on the projects, adding: “The Rotary Club of Salmaniya organised the yearly service project (the greenhouse project), and we invited beneficiaries from the Bahrain Down Syndrome Care Center, Al Rahma Center, and The Friendship Society for the Blind to plant seeds
