HEART
At the heart of Menaa is a desire to empower the young men and women of Uganda to rebuild the nation through a sustainable framework of practical training and gospel-centered teaching.
HOW
• Tree Production Training Nursery. Training in the nursery will include grassroots sowing of seeds and propagating cuttings using the principles of Foundations for Farming. Foundations for Farming is a global ministry teaching sustainable agriculture using biblical principles.
• Physiotherapy for children with special needs. In Uganda children with disabilities are often misunderstood, considered a curse, and ultimately abandoned. We will partner with existing organisations making provision for children with special needs to help develop increased awareness and offer physiotherapy training for local carers and therapists.
• Hosting at Menaa. Our mission is to haves an open home and heart, providing local communities and international visitors with a restful place for training, mentorship, and nurturing. We seek to cultivate an atmosphere of worship and enjoyment of the presence of God; where there is space created to be built up, revived, and enter new places of freedom in Christ.
• Volunteers. There will be opportunity to volunteer on site in the tree nursery and to contribute to ongoing community projects working with children with special needs.
OUTCOME
• Menaa tree nursery will help meet the demand for timber whilst providing an income and equipping young men and woman to provide a livelihood for their families.
• There will be an increased awareness around disability and empowerment of families and communities to embrace children with differences.
• Menaa hosting will facilitate physical and spiritual renewal for local and international visitors, fostering new friendships and God given connections.
