1. Self-Reliance Initiative- Started July 2022. Complete:
With garden towers, tanks and watering pipes already purchased, more families will be offered this opportunity. Future:
More funding, than is currently in place, will be needed to complete the last phases in a timely manner. 2. Student Assistance Initiative Began in 2017 when our founder personally sponsored one family with 5 children. Today we sponsor 64 students from 39 families.
3. Self-Reliance Farming Initiative for Esther’s Children Home - Started Fall 2022 - Kisii The orphanage founded by Vince’s mom, Esther, is a labor of love for Vince and his wife Alice. They hosted us for an afternoon tour in April 2022. In October 2021 we had assisted with installing a rain harvesting system at the orphanage. During the Covid pandemic, Vince lost his job, which had provided much of the financial support needed for operations. Since losing his job, it has been a constant struggle. They are frugal and stretch every penny they receive from well-wishers. They asked us to sponsor some of the older orphans in school but that was not feasible for us to take on. With 37 orphans at the time, now 57, it was clear a long-term solution was needed to keep the children fed, clothed and in school. After learning Vince had farming experience and knew of acreage available for lease, the farming initiative began. In September 2022, 5 acres were leased and planted with the first crop. The first harvest produced enough to feed the children until the next harvest, but no extra to sell. In March 2023, 2 more acres were leased and planted. Another 8 acres were added in September 2023, for a total of 15 acres being cultivated. The harvests are covering some extra costs, but the orphanage is not self-sufficient yet. Another year or so of support is needed. The cost of leasing for a year is now 20,000 ksh ($155 per acre), bringing the cost of a yearly lease to almost $2400. We are exploring the pros and cons of a yearly lease versus purchasing outright or mortgaging the property. The purchase price will be between $45,000 to $55,000. A full analysis of the numbers should be done to evaluate the pros and cons of all options. 4. Duka Moja Water Initiative Capital Campaign Water is life! One solution is to establish a community-based rain harvesting system. These are larger systems (250,000 liters) that require an upfront investment ($70,000) yet pay dividends far into the future. Duka Moja is a large community without any natural resources for water. A promise was made to the Duka Moja community to bring them water. Our intention is to build a rain harvesting system to provide clean water for over 3,000 people which in turn will provide income to build and operate a school for the children of the community. We have partnered with a community member who is donating land for the rain harvesting structure and a future school.
