Henry runs a shamba in Ithanga. He's the most productive farmer in his village and has a gift for helping things grow. Recently, Anne and I visited Henry and his farm with our friend Horace Tipton. Horace is part of Planting Faith ministries (www.plantingfaith.com) and currently helps over 100 subsistence farmers in the Thika Diocese. Many of the farmers are women, and each of them works a five-acre plot, usually producing just enough food to feed the family. Horace has been introducing these farmers to drought resistant crops, developing loan programs, and helping local leaders coordinate community farm groups. He also leads Christian discipleship ministries. . .The Planting Faith farmers are currently harvesting passion fruit, which is normally not grown at such an elevation. They tend to produce a sweeter variety, and the fruit is so good they're now exporting to Europe. This is bringing much needed capital to the impoverished community.
