The community farm gives the children everything around the essentials: meals from our fields, the books they need for each new term, and soon a community we are building together. Sponsorship makes that last.
These are some of the children in the Green hills community. Everything the farm grows, sells or builds comes back to them.
Three things every child in the program can count on.
School fees, a uniform, exercise books and pencils, so every child starts term ready to learn.
One meal a day at the farm.
Medical care for illness or injury, including transport to hospital, medicine and dressings.
$50 a month covers one child's school fees, uniform and two meals a day at the farm.
Write to info@thegreenhillsfarm.org to say you'd like to sponsor a child.
We introduce you to the child you'll support for $50 a month. To confirm: how children are matched.
Photos and letters from your child as the school year goes on. To confirm: how often sponsors hear back.
In June a fungus hit our maize. Friends in Mexico told us it was huitlacoche, a delicacy. We started growing it on purpose, and in September the harvest paid for books, pens and materials for the children in our care.
Sponsors build on what the farm already gives, so the program doesn't depend on one good season.
