Farm Operations - a video tour

What does a school have to do with a farm? In 2002, Svesve Hodza was thrilled to receive a generous land offer from the Government after founding the Friends For Roxanne Foundation.

The farm is a bustling hub, fueling the Foundation's incredible projects. Svesve enthusiastically shares, "We cultivate a vibrant array of crops, including cash crops like Virginia tobacco and sesame, alongside essential food crops such as maize and beans. Our expansive 5 hectares of land are crucial for the Foundation's success. We grow food to nourish the school and sell cash crops to fund our dynamic community projects and school operations.

Friends for Roxanne Foundation - Farming Operations

Despite facing challenges, like the recurring droughts caused by climatic changes, we're determined to overcome them! With unreliable rainfall patterns, producing abundant crops can be tough.

But fear not! The solution is clear: drilling a borehole on the farm for consistent irrigation using borehole water instead of depending on rainfall. We've been striving to gather funds for this essential borehole, but droughts have made it challenging. A borehole will unlock the farm's full potential!

All we need are a borehole, a pump, solar panels, and pipes. This game-changing addition will revolutionize our project!

We would be immensely grateful for any assistance in acquiring a farm borehole.

Our farm is buzzing with life as we grow maize, sugar beans, and Virginia tobacco on our 5 hectares. Maize and sugar beans are staples, nourishing our community, while Virginia tobacco generates vital revenue for the Friends For Roxanne Foundation's impactful projects. Our diverse crops, including tomatoes and other vegetables, ensure food security and promote healthy meals, fostering sustainable agriculture. Maize (corn) is especially crucial for feeding school children, supporting their nutrition and growth!"
