Brethren Community Fellowship, with the help of a team of men, went and scouted the area for the placement of a chapel. The BCF church along with Plant a Seed Foundation, built the chapel, (seats 1,500) and purchased the property it was built on.
From this time on, Plant a Seed purchased some additional property and built a school for 1,500 students over the next three years. Plant a Seed also sent teams over to assist, plan, and build the school, dorms, and additional needed quarters for the staff. There are 1,500 students that are enrolled in the classes at KTC.

In 2007 Plant a Seed purchased 20 acres of land and built a farm consisting of bananas, pineapples, and corn. There were also some goats purchased for the purpose of having meat for school lunches. This farm has given the Kabale Trinity College School a real boost in the children’s daily diets, as well as additional income for the operational costs of the school.
Plant a Seed Foundation sent a team in 2008 to increase the farm’s ability for more production, by building a new irrigation project. It has tripled the production as well as giving the neighbors in that vicinity the privilege of purchasing water from the farms pumping resources. Plant a Seed has also finished building a home for the individual that supervises the farm operation.

The Farm
n 2007 Plant a Seed purchased 20 acres of land and built a farm consisting of bananas, pineapples, and corn. There were also some goats purchased for the purpose of having meat for school lunches. This farm has given the Kabale Trinity College School a real boost in the children’s daily diets, as well as additional income for the operational costs of the school.
Plant a Seed Foundation sent a team in 2008 to increase the farm’s ability for more production, by building a new irrigation project. It has tripled the production as well as giving the neighbors in that vicinity the privilege of purchasing water from the farms pumping resources. Plant a Seed has also finished building a home for the individual that supervises the farm operation.
n the summer of 2007, there was presented a real need to dig a well on the Plant-A-Seed Farm in Uganda, Africa. We wanted to build the well during the wet season and pump water up to planned holding tanks. The purpose was to store and then use the water in the dry season. This would help with watering summer crops.
“Logistically” the project required prayer, thought, and engineering. The distance and the degree of slope to the top of the hill were over miles away with a 33-degree slope.
Plant a Seed Foundation sent a team in 2008 to increase the farm’s ability for more production, by building a new irrigation project. Through a lot of prayers, the team came up with ideas of how we could conquer this challenge, which seemed to be impossible to the local people of the region. It has tripled the production as well as giving the neighbors in that vicinity the privilege of purchasing water from the farms pumping resources. Plant a Seed has also finished building a home for the individual that supervises the farm operation.
With the help of Nexus Engineering in Modesto, a plan was drafted.
Now all we needed was the funding, resources, and people to help us solve a challenge that we know the Lord had laid on our hearts.
Romans 8.28 states: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, and who are called according to his purpose.”
With that promise, the Lord put together a team and opened doors that we could have only imagined. We were even able to fund a receiving house for students to come, stay, work, and learn. These students could then take what they had learned back to their own villages. It was an opportunity to help local students understand simple farming practices and bring more food to their table.
Today, the farm in Africa has in production coffee, bananas, peas, corn, pineapple, and now a couple of beef cattle. Farm production as gone up over 30% with the abundance of water.
