In January this year, a group of local farming families got together and sent a small team over to Vanuatu to help after the Earthquake. In collaboration with the local YWAM team they took in donated food and clothing, worked to rebuild water tanks, and ran clinics for local kids.

And on the 22nd of September, we went back. A team of 16 went to establish Paradise Farm, and even in the face of significant challenges, they got the job done!

And you helped make it happen! We raised over $30k in cash, gift in kind and building materials, all to help us establish a source of food and income, a significant step towards long term self-sufficiency and resiliency.

The farm plan is well developed and can be viewed online on the project's website. Click Here

The farm's location is just north of a village called Epule, on the island of Efate. Google Maps

And now we're raising money to support the farm manager and his family, Karlin and Loid, who will be on site every week to train the students, oversee the operations, and help develop sustainable systems.

Would you be interested in supporting the initiative? We need your help!
