Smarter, Regenerative Agribusiness

GIFT has supported Daughters of Wisdom and Missionaries of Saint Paul in Malawi, Father Fred's Ecogenesis regenerative farming center in Philippines, and Wynne Farm, L'Arc-en-Ciel Orphanage and Father Joseph Network in Haiti in the farming of nutrition-smart, water-smart and climate-smart Orange Flesh Sweet Potatoes and their Edible Leaves. OFSP and Leaves provide the most calories per acre among all crops and their yields could grow 7-fold, per FAO data. 

GIFT also provides training on the OFSP's unparalleled propagation wherewithal and worked to create seed beds and enable sharing of vine cuttings across communities.  GIFT also provided soil test kits and training on soil testing.

Importantly, not only is OFSP and its Edible Leaves an efficacious nutrition powerhouse, OFSP flour can replace up to 60% of Wheat in baked goods to reduce imports and keep incomes in country. And OFSP can be grown with less than 1/3 the water requirements of Wheat, which is key given the growing incidences of water scarcity globally. GIFT provides regenerative farming resources via training and essentially a farming toolkit, including seeds, irrigation, soil testing, propagation strategies, etc., where possible.  GIFT has also helped a farm in Philippines construct a greenhouse.

GIFT has also forged a relationship with Poznan Supercomputing & Networking Center, Poland, to provide supercomputing for agribusiness management.

GIFT also supports market making and circular-economy value chain creation for job creation and economic development.  In our latest Agribusiness endeavor, we're seeking to convert OFSP and Leaves crop damage, food processing wastes and vines into bioplastics, bioethanol and biohydrogen, enabling more income for farmers, value chain job creation and community economic development.

Construction Of A Community Center, A Library And A Greenhouse To Affect Community Development

GIFT has supported global organizations in developing facilities that contribute to community wellbeing and economic development.

Solar & Battery Storage; Solar Irrigation; Clean Water Filtration; And Emergency Food Relief

GIFT has provided solar and battery storage systems in Philippines and Haiti and we also deployed solar irrigation in Philippines.

In Malawi, in response to Cyclone Freddy's devastating impact and resulting Cholera incidences, GIFT provided Daughters of Wisdom with LifeStraw Water Filtration systems to help avert Cholera deaths.

GIFT also provided DOW with an emergency response supply of Maize to feed the hungry after crops had failed and people were left displaced and hungry.

Micro-business and Trades Education, Library Support, School Curricula and More.

GIFT enabled Daughters of Wisdom to support illiterate women with micro-business creation in Malawi by providing sewing machines and training on the sewing trade as well as general business training.

.   

GIFT also provided DOW with a mobile-phone enabled digital projector to provide internet-enabled sewing trades training. This was so successful that the students also pursued internet-content training for soap manufacturing. 

GIFT also supported the construction of a community center in Philippines and of a school library in Malawi.

And through the internet enabled projector, GIFT was also able to provide access to library books, and classroom education material.

in Haiti, we supported the community with training on rabbit breeding business and financial support akin to microfinance to enable self-sustaining business development.
