MCF tour - Part 2

Agriculture, farming, growing fruits and vegetables indoor and in greenhouses, tilapia ponds, chicken barns, cows, sheep; all part of MCF becoming 100% self-sustainable








Cows would go through the cow dip every 2 weeks

Homes for beneficiaries. An orphan arrives at MCF ... any age ... a home, basic needs are provided for, schooling is given ... after the child completes Grade 12, they are not just sent on their way ... trade schools are taught for men and women so they can start their own business; many wait for the opportunity to attend college or university. Currently, MCF is supporting about 50 kids in colleges and universities. About 150 kids wait and live at MCF - they are called "beneficiaries" .... while they wait, they help teach at the school and work at MCF.

5 homes pictured here. And it wasn't always home for one person - often for a couple or a family. Note metal structure and imagine how hot that must get inside with the sun and warm weather
