Jacaranda Farm

Jacaranda Plans:

The entire property is in three sections: The horticultural section , the catering and pottery section and the Conference section.

For the Conference section our plan is to bring young men and women from both the Christian and Muslim communities together for between six weeks to three months community life together on the property.

During this period we plan to expose them to the religion of their neighbour: what they share in common and their theological differences. This, we hope will help inculcate in the participants the spirit of positive tolerance, respect and maturity. In addition, we will give them skills in poultry, rabbitry, fishery, pottery and as they graduate give them some tools for them to take-off on their return to their homes.

With acquired skills, thay should be able to live on their jobs and therefore not easily available to politicians who use them to create crises situations.

To achieve that, we plan to pay our debts on the property within the next three years by requesting 400 people to assist us with 100 Pounds per year for three years.

Please look through the various aspects of the Jacaranda Farm project. If you would like to make a donation please visit the Donations page.
