Through sustainable farming practices, this pillar focuses on environmental stewardship, clean water access, and food security. Wateule Farm serves as a model for innovative farming techniques and as a center for learning, restoration, retreat and worship. This initiative includes efforts like reforestation, crop diversification, and ecological balance, addressing both local and global challenges. Community-based farming education and reforestation initiatives empower local communities to adopt sustainable agricultural methods and restore the land for future generations.
As we grew up, farming was the main stay for our family. And let me clarify here and say, peasant farming. For my father to be free to go and preach the gospel, he had to make sure he hard harvested maize so that the staple food of “ugali” was available. Where he could, he would try a few short-term cash crops to supplement the family needs for additional funds.
