The Next 90
Posted by Mann Nolan | Filed under Project Canaan
In June 2009, this raw land was purchased, dedicated, and development began. In six short months dams were built, wells dug, a Farm Directors building completed and African workers hired. The first 30 acres of land was cleared and prepared and the seeds went in the ground on November 5, 2009. The first harvest of maize was in March, 2010. This maize has been donated to our three partner orphanages and sold in the local market.
We are ready to clear and develop the next 90 acres immediately, but need the funds.
Can you help?
What?
90 Acres of land needs to be cleared and developed
Cost?
$5,000 per acre (one time capital costs included)

Update on Project Canaan
Posted by Mann Nolan | Filed under Project Canaan
Project Canaan, Heart for Africa’s land development project in Swaziland, is moving along at a rapid pace. Many of you may have visited the land during your mission trip to Swaziland this past year. Things have definitely changed since then. The farm manager’s building is almost complete and staff has started moving in. Kaleli Mulli from Kenya, the farm manager, has moved into his new home along with four workers living in the dorm.
Over the past few weeks, the first 30 acres of land has been cleared and planting will begin very soon. We are excited about this first planting season at Project Canaan and grateful to all of you that donated to “The First Harvest” campaign to make it happen.
