Isinya Borehole Project
Reigniting Hope Through Farming – The Tandaza Agricultural Initiative
The Tandaza Agricultural Initiative began with a bold vision—empowering people through practical agricultural training and income-generating crops. Launched on leased land, the project flourished in 2016 and 2017, equipping individuals with life-changing skills and producing successful harvests..
In 2019, we witnessed God’s provision in a powerful way: the Trust was gifted three acres of land.
Urgent Need: A Borehole for Sustainable Impact
Water availability remains a challenge, even with installed gutters to collect rainwater, which provides some relief during dry spells.
For the farm to thrive year-round, a borehole is urgently needed. Clean, reliable water will unlock the potential for sustainable farming, food security, and employment—especially for those transitioning from life on the streets in Nairobi, Kenya.
We’ve launched a campaign to raise $10,000 to complete this critical project. So far, you’ve helped raise $4,150.
Every dollar brings us closer to restoring dignity, building futures, and creating lasting change.
Every Dollar Counts
Your donation no matter how small will go a long way in making a difference.

Support the Isinya Borehole Project
We have been raising money to help Tandaza Trust Kenya complete the digging of a borehole. The borehole to be dug at their Isinya Farm will provide food security through sustainable commercial farming and offer employment opportunities to those coming off the streets of Nairobi, Kenya. We’ve set up this campaign with a goal of raising $10,000.

The Tandaza Walk is our main fundraising event. It happens each year in September. It is an event for all ages. Why not have fun walking/ running or biking while raising funds for a worthy cause. It is a family event for all ages. Dates for the 2025 Walk will be announced soon!
Help at a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle
Each year we host a Sausage Sizzle at a local Bunnings. It is a great way to meet new people, create awareness, build community and raise funds. You can engage by giving a few hours of your time to help with the sausage sizzle. We will let you know when the next one is.
