Our work

Four initiatives, each removing one barrier between a child and their potential. They are designed to reinforce one another: the farm funds the school, the auditorium hosts the health fairs, and healthy children learn.

“By nature human beings are drawn to strength, not weakness.”

Michael A. Folkes

This is the Foundation’s long-term aim: “creating self-sustainability instead of relying solely on financial donations.”
