In 2020 we became water secure by installing an underground tank to catch rainwater. We also attempted growing maize and beans on rented land in 2021 to provide an independent food source for the children’s meals, but were stymied by zebras and donkeys devouring our crops. During a 2021 trip, a fantastic opportunity to purchase 97.5 acres of protected farm land became available, and with help from donors, we acquired this land at $348 an acre to secure our school’s food source.
