By the end of 2019, we had made great strides! The Grundy Building, our first structure, a combination warehouse/living quarters was built. Built with four 40-foot shipping containers and brick. Under one roof is a barn with secure storage, two bedrooms, bathrooms with a shower, and a kitchen with a dining area. We now had a place to sleep, besides a tent. Additionally crews had cleared approximately 30% of the land with machetes and heavy equipment, a large task that included removing bushes full of thorns and stumps, leveling the land, plowing, and finally planting the crops. The first crop was harvested and provided food for the construction crew.
In 2020, the Uganda Rural Electrification Program placed power poles in front of the property, which means the building will have electricity! This is a huge blessing since we purchased the property without any power on the street nearby and believed we would have to rely completely on solar power.

We continue to work towards a completed farm community with fourteen homes, an elementary school, high school, health clinic, and community center. We know that this community will sustain the 300+ residents that will live here and assist in paying for the schools, health clinic, and community outreach.
