Crop Farming
Our organization envisions embarking on climate smart agriculture as a response to create food security for the children as well as selling out the surplus produced to generate income. In response to climate change crisis and weather extremes globally, our target is irrigation farming focusing on producing vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, okra, bell peppers and crops such as maize, beans, and hyacinth beans. Projects are located in Olswaki, where the land will be hired for irrigation farming seasonally. We will employ the high professional experts ranging from the soil health, quality seeds, paste management, fertilizer application, and post-harvest management. The total estimated project budget is 168,000,000 TZS which is equivalent to 70,000 USD.
Animal Husbandry
In addition to crop farming, our organization has planned to become involved in livestock keeping such as Dairy Cattle, Dairy Goats, Beef Sheep, and Poultry farming with the Children Home’s premises while beekeeping (Apis Mellifera) will take place in West Kilimanjaro Forest Plantation with a beekeeping block request from a Beekeeping Division Department. Our produced honey will be tested at Government Chemist Laboratory Agency (GCLA) and Tanzania Bureau of Standards(TBS) upon passed the quality test as demanded then our honey branded and sold in retail or wholesale shops and supermarkets to generate income to support the children. The total estimated project budget is 119,300,00 TZS, which is equivalent to 50,000 USD.
Buildings Construction
As a part of our strategic expansion, we envision to build more classrooms, boys and girls hostel, multipurpose hall, dining hall, administration block, and a vocational training facility to accommodate more children from difficulty backgrounds. The total estimated budget is 1,200,000,000 TZS which is equivalent to 500,000 USD. Matonyok Children Home welcomes all to join and support in whatever ways and means possible, let us take care of the children together and build a self-competent community for a better tomorrow.
