Nairobi, Kenya — A Christian church community in rural Kenya is transforming lives through an innovative project combining faith and sustainability. The St. Francis Ministry has launched a series of solar-powered farms to provide food, water, and economic opportunities to struggling families affected by drought and poverty.
The project, initiated two years ago, now operates on over 200 acres of land, irrigated through solar-powered water systems. The farms grow maize, beans, and vegetables while also providing clean drinking water for nearby villages. Local church leaders credit the initiative as a “blessing from God” that combines faith-driven compassion with practical solutions to address climate challenges.
Reverend Samuel Oloo, the project’s founder, said, “As stewards of creation, we have a responsibility to care for the earth and our communities. Through this project, we are feeding the hungry, creating jobs, and sharing God’s love in action.”
The farms have helped over 10,000 people access reliable food supplies while providing employment to dozens of families. Women in the community have taken leadership roles in managing operations, further empowering local households.
International Christian charities have taken note of the success, with similar models being implemented in Uganda, Ethiopia, and Malawi. The project stands as a testament to how faith communities can lead innovative solutions to global challenges.
