HOW OUR STORY BEGAN

Their story began in June 2021 during the Covid-19 shutdown. Concerned about the hungry elderly and the vulnerable people in his village, Dominic reached out to us to see if we were able to help his village in any way. We asked him what he thought would help. For $200 he was able to purchase a cabbage and a loaf of bread for all the elderly and vulnerable.

The service to his community that day was just the beginning of Dominic’s dream to be able to serve his village and to give them food, work, opportunity and hope.

The Garden Idea Is born

“Our idea now is, we are thinking of making a garden to make some farm produce but it has not worked cause our area is too small. We thought of making the garden at our late grandfather’s field but water will be a challenge. Caring for animals is difficult cause the field is quite far from home. We are still thinking of how we are going to make this happen.”

In July 2021, the first garden volunteers showed up to begin clearing this field for a future garden. This is the first photo of our garden community before development began.

Our garden was developed with the first step. On August 8, 2021 we drilled and water was reached! Then came the water pump. Funds have been raised one project at a time.

The welders were hired for the water tank as the village helped when they were able. Then came the solar panel. This is their source of power for irrigation. Now they could prepare the garden.
