Currently our organization relies very heavily on donations, but one day in the near future we would like to reach a point of self-sustainability. We are taking many steps to achieve this goal; we have started a number of income generating projects, and we are always thinking of new and innovative ideas to sustain our home!
Cow Project
We currently have two milking cows at Faraja, Ocean and Stella. The cows allow the children to drink plenty of milk everyday, and we are able to sell the rest to the community to generate income.
Gardens
We have two large gardens at Faraja, both growing a variety of vegetables that reduce the amount of money spent on food each month.
Green House
In April 2013 Faraja volunteers donated and constructed a green house for the home. The green house will provide vegetable seedlings for the home, as well as seedlings for sale to the community.
Daycare center
While the children are in school the house remains pretty empty, so we decided to start a Day Care Center that benefits the community while also generating income for the home.
