Farming Initiative Overview

The LLIAM Farming Initiative is a sustainable agriculture project that provides fresh, nutritious food for the children in our care while teaching valuable farming skills. Our farming needs do not stop at the Children's Home—we serve a community with serious food insecurity.

What We Grow:

• Vegetables: Cabbage, tomatoes, onions, carrots, greens
• Fruits: Bananas, pineapples, mangoes
• Grains: Maize, beans
• Poultry: Chickens for eggs and meat

Project Goals:

• Provide fresh, organic food for the Children's Home
• Reduce food costs and improve nutrition
• Teach children and youth valuable agricultural skills
• Share surplus harvest with needy families in the community
• Generate income through sale of surplus produce
• Create a sustainable food source for the ministry

What We Need:

• Additional land for expansion
• Farming tools and equipment
• Seeds and seedlings
• Irrigation system for dry seasons
• Greenhouse for year-round production
• Chicken coops and poultry equipment

Community Impact:

Every harvest season, we share our surplus with the most vulnerable families in the community. This validates our need for extra land for expansion to feed more hungry families.
