Our Mission
We exist to equip and empower hungry families in rural Kenya using a faith-based approach to sustainable farming.
The Demo Farm helps the community youth:
- Participate in developing the environment
- Teaches leadership skills & practical skills to earn money
- Provides a meeting place for socializing
- Ultimately, helps to alleviate poverty in the community.
The Malooi Youth Demonstration Farm is dedicated for the development of the youth in the region. It is a project of the Africa Inland Church Kenya under the supervision of the AIC Malooi Local Church Council. It is headed by the Pastor in Charge as the director and the Youth Chairman as the Manager. The Local Church Council forms the project trustee board and the Christian Youth in Action (CYA) Committee forms the farm management committee.
Our History
The Demonstration farm was started in the year 2010 as an extension of a tree nursery that had been established at the AIC Malooi Church compound by the AIC Malooi Youth Group in 2006. A 3.05 acre piece of land was bought for the Church by partners who shared the vision of Pastor Kioko Mwangangi and the youth at the Church. The Church acknowledges the involvement of Donna ‘Mwende’ Shekleton, a legendary American lady in Malooi with a passion for the welfare of the African youth, for facilitating the awareness to the partners.
The young adults got together and through a fund donated by Major General (RTD) Joseph Musomba fenced the land leaving paths for the neighbors to use. They also used the funds generated from the tree nursery to prepare initial terraces to conserve the soil in their new land. They planted fruit trees, forest trees, and some fodder crops. They also set up their first beehive.
Core Values
Commitement to Developing the Land & People
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
– 1 Corinthians 15:58
Integrity to Honor the Lord
Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.
-Proverbs 28:6
Accountability to Eachother
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
-Hebrews 10:24-25
Efficient Use of Resources
One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
-Luke 16:10-12
Partnership with the Global Body of Christ
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
-Ecclesiastes 4:9
Quality Assurance
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
-Galatians 6:9-10
