Ken-ya Help Us?
Facilities & Auditorium – $120,000-150,000

Garden Box Kit – $75/box
An innovative idea we would like to try is to harness rain from the aluminum rooftops and use it to water wooden boxes with vegetables. These boxes will serve as a starter kit to grow subsistence vegetables. A small amount of rain water collected from run-off rain on...
Well – $25,000
Due to the insufficient rains, we need a consistent water source to the farm. This well will supply enough water to meet the needs of the tree nursery, the vegetables, fruits and drinking water. We hope to have this completed by the end of 2023 to prepare for the next...
Livestock – $10,000
We would like to house animals at the demonstration farm to sell their products and help families in the community. This fund raising goal will go towards clearing the land, and building pens for the animals. We plan to initially purchase 2 cows, 10 chickens, and 5...
Perimeter Fence – $5,000
Our crops and fields are unprotected from wild and grazing animals that roam through the village. We hope to build a perimeter fence around the property to keep away the animals and keep our crops safe.
Drip Irrigation – $50/kit
Drip irrigation is the most efficient technological advancement used to grow crops. The system delivers the correct amount of water and nutrients directly to the roots of the plant at the right time so that the plant receives exactly what it requires for maximum growth.

Water Tanks – $8,000
Due to yearly droughts that can last 8-9 months of the year, the demonstration farm needs to store large amounts of water to keep our crops nourished. An anonymous donor generously provided $8,000 so that we were able to install 30,0000 liters of water storage with a...
Water Reservoir & Solar Panels – $150,000
In 2020, the local Kenyan government, through the former Governor, Prof. Kivutha Kibwana, took notice of the demonstration farm and provided a grant of 1.5 Kenyan Shillings (about $150,000 USD) to help expand our farm efforts! In 2021the team built a tree nursery, a...
Biochar Kiln – $1,250
Biochar is a sustainable farming technique used to help improve soil quality. Biochar is made by the following process: heating biomass (wood, manure, crop residues, solid waste, etc.) with limited oxygen in a specially designed stove or kiln. Biochar is used to improve the soil’s water holding capacity and helps with increasing nutrient holding capacity.
