Growing Food, Opportunity, and Hope: Gatune Farm & Huruma Children’s Home Updates

Exciting things are happening at Gatune Farm in Ngong, Kenya, made possible by your incredible support. From feeding students to transforming lives and landscapes, here’s a glimpse into the progress:

Transformative Infrastructure Updates

This year, we’ve made significant strides in building the foundation for long-term impact:

  • On-site water is now available, and electricity is on the way!

  • A Kenyan agency is planting hundreds of fruit trees around the farm to serve as both a natural barrier and a nutrition source for students.

  • A $7,000 disbursement has kickstarted the educational building project, making the classroom fully functional with essential features such as desks, chairs, internet, laptops, and a projector. This classroom will be a vital resource for 17 Huruma high school graduates in their one-year paid internship at Gatune Farm.

What’s Next?

We’re halfway to our goal of raising $17,500 the education phase, to complete the educational building’s classroom infrastructure and supplies. Following that, we’ll launch a $19,500 agriculture fundraiser to bring:

  • Drip irrigation systems

  • A greenhouse

  • Farming equipment

  • Support for a full-time farm manager

Looking Forward

The goal is clear: to create a hub where students can learn, grow, and thrive, all while fostering sustainable agriculture.

Your support is turning Gatune Farm into more than just a farm—it’s a place where food, education, and hope flourish. Thank you for being part of this journey! Together, we’re transforming lives and building brighter futures.

Let’s keep growing! Support the next phase of Gatune’s development and be part of this exciting transformation. 🌱

“The Gatune project is transforming lives by providing nutritious meals to over 400 children from its produce, ensuring their well-being and fostering a healthier, brighter community.
