The Germany Embassy-Beijing sponsored Muhong Tibetan Village Greenhouse Project benefited 377 Tibetans (65 households) in Daowei Township, Xunhua Salar Autonomous County, Haidong Region, Qinghai Province, PR China. The total value of the project was 78,400RMB (German Embassy = 64,400 RMB) and a local contribution that may be valued at 14,000RMB. Six greenhouses were built in the village to produce vegetables for self-consumption and to sell to increase family income. Villagers are optimistic about benefits from the greenhouses. Mr. Lalang Tar said, "We never considered having greenhouses as a way to earn cash income. Instead, we left the village to earn seasonal income. With village greenhouses, we can make income locally." Ms. Zhoumo said, "Before we had to go seven kilometers to a small town to buy vegetables. That was time consuming and costly because we had to pay for a taxi or use our own motorcycle. Now we have our own greenhouses that produce vegetables and we can sell extra vegetable on the market to make additional income." These greenhouses are the first greenhouses in the local Tibetan community, and thus a model for other villages in how to make money while staying in the village. During project implementation, villagers participated in the project plan, purchasing materials, and building the greenhouse walls. A village project committee led by two village leaders actively bridged between the villagers and the implementing agency, Friends of Rural Community Development. Representatives of the latter frequently visited the village to check project progress and greenhouse quality and discuss any concerns that arisen. Villagers are satisfied with the project result and optimistic about the impact of the project on local people's lives.
