Growth and Progress

By Emily Obiti | Field Worker

Kids at the Farm
Kids at the Farm

It's a happy new year at the Turning Point Farm, on December 1st the mums progressed from stage 1 to stage 2, taking one step closer to their dream of land ownership and independence. While stage one involved more communal living and learning farming skills, stage two sees the mums living more independently at putting their new skills to the test on their own 1 acre plots of land. This progression involves a physical move to a new, slightly bigger home which the kids are extremely excited about.

Another change at the farm sees the mums gain a new Farm Manager. Florence has been a teacher with Turning Point for several years but has now moved with her kids to the Turning Point Farm to oversee the personal and spiritual development of the mums. Florence has her own inspiring story of perseverance and progress as a single-mum raising her kids in Kibera and we believe she will be a loving and encouraging role-model and guide to the mums at the farm.
