Plans for our Future Clinic Building

With the technical support or Mercy Ships and Medical Ambassadors International, since 2007 we have been trying to grow a plantation of Moringa Oleifera plants.

Malnutrition was the reason for us to start looking for sources of good nutrients, since Moringa trees have been used to combat malnutrition, especially among infants and nursing mothers, to hear about this plant for us was an answer from God to help us at helping the needies.  Moringa is especially promising as a food source in these rural areas as well as a home remedy already tried on diarrheas, fever, stomachache for the women in this area.

We were taught that Moringa leaves contain more Vitamin A than carrots, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more Vitamin C than oranges, and more potassium than bananas, and that the protein quality of Moringa leaves rivals that of milk and eggs.

So far, we have few families in the mountain growing their own Moringa plants succesfully while we continue trying to spread the seed along the area.
We need more seeds to continue with the project that hopefully will provide in some way the need of fresh nutrients for the children.
One of the goals of this project is be able to produce our own seed in the area to later pass it on to all the families in need. Local farmers have been told and trained about hot to grow it and how to use the most of the plant.
Our vision and our prayers are to buy a field for the plantation, get the seeds and have volunteers to come and help us teaching others about The Trees for Life!
