Projects
It takes a village to raise a child. Our projects are a reflection of this ancient wisdom. As we continue to grow, different needs reveal themselves around us. These projects are a sort of call and response dance with our community. One that moves us all towards a thriving reality.
Current Projects
FPCT-Tesifa Children’s Homes
Our model of care focuses on providing a high quality of life. The children we care for come to us from difficult backgrounds and we joyfully take on the responsibility of prayer, care and repair.
While we currently have one home, our vision is to have multiple homes of no more than eight children with a home mama and house staff. This ensures that the children are well cared for, their individual expression is nurtured and guided. We meet their basic needs of food, shelter, clothes, education, spiritual guidance and emotional safety.
The first FPCT-Tesifa Children’s home was started in 2022.
Thayu Farm
Thayu Farm is a bold go at regenerative living! A way to intersect community service and income generation, ensuring Tesifa Tanzania’s self-sustainability.
This project’s primary vision is three-pronged:
1. Provide the Tesifa community with the highest quality food, grown and raised regeneratively.
2. Become the home of FPCT-Tesifa Children’s Homes.
3. Generate income for Tesifa projects through food production, education programs and accommodation.
Kila Dada Initiative
This initiative was started in Kenya and has provided over 2000 reusable menstrual (Mwanzo) kits to girls in in Kenya and Tanzania. Our focus with this initiative is Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and Menstrual Health Management (MHM).
Through the Mwanzo Kit distribution and the Dada Kwanza programs, we address period poverty and sexual safety from a health, educational, social and institutional perspective.
Developing Projects
Kai.retu’s Birth Forest
Kai.retu’s Birthing Forest is a living exploration of evidence-based and love-centred maternal and infant care. The intention is to build an ecosystem around birth that considers the effects nutrition, architecture, art, community, traditional practices and medical methods have on birth outcomes.
This project brings together biophilic architecture, a food and medicine forest, the wisdom of traditional midwifery and technologies of modern medicine, apitherapy, art and education in service to women’s reproductive health and infant care.
A birth centre held within a thriving ecosystem of love.
