Our TRANSFORMATIVE Programs
transforming hearts, lives and communities with practical, efficacious programmatic innovations
GLOBAL SMART FARMING
GIFT supports farming in Haiti, Malawi and Philippines, and we've specialized in advancing Orange Flesh Sweet Potatoes and their Edible Leves. (For more information, please refer to the Power of the Sweet Potato in this website)
GIFT has partnered with the Poznan Supercomputing & Networking Center, Poland, to bring smart farming technology to poor farmers globally, and we're now seeking collaborators who can help educate smallholder famers on this IT.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
We've deployed Solar & Storage in Philippines and have a similar deployment in progress in Haiti. We've also provided solar irrigation in Philippines to support regenerative farming.
BUSINESS CREATION
GIFT has helped the global poor develop businesses including sewing, soap manufacturing and rabbit breeding. (Note: the photo above includes dresses sewn and soap manufactured by women undergoing training in Malawi; in the background is a library GIFT funded to further support the community education and skills development,)
Of particular note, GIFT introduced an internet-enabled video projector to provide on-line education in trades as well as general courseware for overall community education. It was after learning the sewing trade that the women used the internet courseware to learn how to manufacture soap.
farm irrigation
GIFT provided farms in Philippines and Malawi with irrigation, including solar drip irrigation and manual KickStart pumps -- both of which enable farmers to profit and provide food from continuous year-round farming. And in the case of Orange Flesh Sweet Potatoes, the irrigation-enabled continuous farming enables tremendous propagation.
Rabbit Breeding
To support Haitian communities with food and income, GIFT trained people in Rabbit Breeding and helped them establish micro-enterprises.
Water filtration
In response to the devastating Cyclone Freddy that hit Malawi, GIFT provided the displaced community with LifeStraw Community Water Filters and Clean Jugs for safely distributing the wateer.
