I wanted to take an opportunity to share the status of some of the projects that our wonderful donors have made possible.

We have completed the fence around our whole farm! This is a huge step because it has helped resolve our cow grazing and neighbor encroachment issues. We used a combination of concrete and wood posts with 3 strands of barbed wire. We then planted fast growing trees that will act as a living fence to take the place of the wooden posts that will be eventually eaten by termites.

While we were back in the States, our pit latrine was completed. This isn’t a glamorous item, but a necessary one for the people working on our farm as well as our future students.

We have completed our borehole, which is providing water to our farm. We hit water on the first try and are getting a good stream, even in the dry season. It was truly a blessing! We will be adding a solar pump to take the water from the borehole to a storage tank at the top of the farm to provide water for all parts of the farm.

We have begun our big building project which includes Alex’s house, a storage room, a dormitory and an office. The foundation has been built and the slab has been poured. They are waiting on the concrete to set and will begin the walls very soon!

We have built a house for our goat project as well as a fenced-in yard for dogs that will provide security for our goats!

These projects will go a long way toward building a sustainable farm as well as a vocational training center! This wouldn’t be possible without such amazing donors! Thank you!
