We are in an area that has been hit by drought for 2 growing seasons. Yet God has blessed us with a good borehole (well) that can irrigate through the dry season. So why would we not gather and grow food to provide for those who will be short of it? $2000 will get us started on some of the staple foods and work into small horticulture plots as well.

During a 12 day period, we can expect electricity at home for 5 of those days. In the past it wasn’t so unreliable, but with the direction of the economy and municipal management, we need to look at alternative electricity sources. With an invertor and 1 more battery to add to the 2 we already have, we’d be able to maintain electricity that keeps our freezers with produce secure, and allows our family to function well at home.

The 2001 Nissan Hardbody has served us well since 2018. However, now the repairs on it cost more than what regular maintenance should be. We are seeking $40,000 (roughly $20K each) to trade in both the current truck and 1998 Toyota Surf and find a newer vehicles to haul feed, transport equipment and produce, and travel to different project sites. Please pray with us for this big goal!

We are now farming back in the same Ward as we were in 2022. We had started to establish a relationship with the Matobo Primary School, to seek out ways we can partner with them and bless them. We intend to restart conversations with the school leaders to see what connections can be made. Stay tuned for opportunities to bless the primary school!

We secured a rented plot of land in 2024 that is accessible by trucks required to do broilers. We have built a 2000-chicken capacity house as well as two other houses with 1200 capacity each. This spot is 45km from the town of Bulawayo, and there is good water.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
