Dear Friends and Family,

Ubuntu: I am because we are.

Hi! My name is Conor Mehan. I am from San Francisco (USA) and in May of 2025 I had the opportunity to travel to South Africa and live and volunteer in a remote community called Nourish.

Nourish is a home away from home for the local village of Sigagule it supports. Kids and staff come here everyday for fresh food, education, social entrepreneurship, and connection.

The farm is an important part of Nourish, providing fresh food to the Granny's Kitchen as well as offsetting the expenses Nourish has to budget for. Its a place for learning and curiosity and tasty food out in the bush.

The Nourish farm was my primary interest during my stay there. I helped develop a seed bank and planting plan. But it is suffering from water deprivation during the dry months which consist of 6 months per year.

So...we are raising money to drill Nourish a designated well or Bore-Hole as they call them, specifically for the farm so that they can improve and expand their cultivations of nutritious crops year round! The farm team work so hard I am very excited to see what they do with secured irrigation. Earth and sky will be they limit!

The budget for the bore hole has been carefully calculated and I will be personally managing its install. Tasks include drilling up to 150 meters, securing the hole with casing so it does not collapse, and installing a solar pump so it is off the grid and can produce water even in frequent electrical outages.

If you can donate, please note you are NOT required to leave a "tip" at the Go Fund Me check out. That can be zeroed out prior to finalizing. All proceeds go directly to this project.

Love and Ubuntu!

Conor
