Heart for Africa (Canada)

Help us feed a hungry world with nutritious eggs

Malnutrition and HIV/AIDS have affected the majority of the Eswatini population. This epidemic has left as much as half of the country’s population as orphaned or vulnerable children. Many of these children have taken on the role of caregivers of their younger siblings.

Heart for Africa (Canada) brought hope to the region with its large-scale farming project and safe haven for children. The result is a growing 2,500 acre multi-commodity farm and community that provides care and education to orphaned children, training and employment to the families in the region, and a sustainable source of nutritious food for many.

Building a stronger community

Project Canaan has expanded with the addition of a new egg farm. Our journey saw a barren patch of land transformed into two layer barns filled with egg laying hens thanks to the generosity of volunteers and supporters.

Egg Farmers of Canada is contributing on-the-ground expertise and has worked closely with the community to establish the entire egg farm from the ground up. The project team, made up of a group of Canadian egg farmers and staff, continues to work with Swazi farmers to train staff and develop a long-term strategy to sustain the operation.

Now that the barn is complete, the farm is offering fresh eggs to thousands of people in the community and is providing a locally produced protein that’s essential for human growth and development.
