The Problem Murree city is a famous tourist spot located about 30km from Islamabad. Which is also known for production of delicious apples, pears, figs, plums and grapes. Due to ignorance of locals a large number of fresh fruit goes to waste annually in Muree Hills. Desiring to educate people about preservation of these natural resources in form of jams, jellies and marmalades. Initially, starting this project from one village and then will gradually expand it to all over the city.

Aiming to train people about preserving their resources through which they will generate income. Which will eventually improve their standard of education, health and over all lifestyle. It brings an opportunity of creating new demand in market and making your natural blessings known to the world. Furthermore, it will help them start a business by utilizing things which had been there for years. The consumption of fruit will help to clean the environment as well.

In the region of Murree this problem prevails for years. Lots of fruit goes to waste and hence causes loss to the owner. Production of a crop depends on weather, sometimes its good and at times its less but still according to our rough survey approximately 40 kg fruit goes to garbage from every house. By putting a little effort and using skill the people will be able to market a brand of farm fresh jams and jellies throughout the country. And as a result whole social setup will be raised regarding education, physical condition of people and the environment. Theory Of Change
