there for children.

We are pleased to share an update on the progress of our farm project at the foot of Kilimanjaro. The fertile area outside Moshi provides the perfect backdrop for our venture. Since the end of 2023, we have made significant progress in the infrastructure development of our farm. After the successful harvest in July, we started building the pigsty in September and the chicken house in November. These buildings were constructed exclusively by local craftsmen using traditional methods, which allowed us to involve small regional businesses.

At the beginning of 2024, we fenced off the land and planted a hedge, which further advanced the structuring and securing of the site. We are currently in the process of installing the electricity and water system, while the final work on the buildings is being finalised.

An important next step will be to start keeping chickens, with a planned number of around 800 laying hens, whose eggs will be hatched directly on the farm. As soon as these foundations have been completed, the pigs will also move into their new home. The welfare of our animals is particularly important to us and is always at the centre of our efforts.

The farm not only provides important financial support for the Kipepeo Family Foundation, but also directly supports local families. By providing start-up capital in the form of chickens or pigs, we provide families with a basis for their own livelihoods and promote self-reliance within the community. We are confident that this project will have a lasting impact on the region and look forward to continuing to report positive developments.

Dear supporters

The harvest season in the Kilimanjaro Region, is finally about to take an end. It took a bit longer than usual due to the long-lasting rain season.

We brought in 360 kg corn and some beans as well. All what we have got we will distribute to Families in need. The families themselves take over the responsibility to process the corn in order to store it and prepare the national dish called “Ugali”. Whenever they have not got the money to buy food by themselves, they can take from that good.

This month we are starting with the infrastructure for the buildings:

• a little house to live in for the security
• a chicken house
• a stall for cows
• a place to keep pigs

Looking forward to share with you more soon.

Warm greetings from Tanzania

Team Kipepeo

In the last few days we have planted the first trees on Kipepeo's farm. These will provide shade and privacy for the farm. Families from different village areas around Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, will benefit from our farm. Children living on the streets will get new perspectives and the hope to dream again.

"When connected, each individual becomes strong and in community a dream becomes a reality."

Help us to collect the remaining donations so that the project can be successfully completed at the end of March. With grateful hearts, we look to the future with confidence.
