Responding to Africa's Dilemma...
Sharon Valley Christian Kibbutz Village
Following God’s word, that time had come for the 30-year-old vision of 1987 to be fulfilled, we acquired land to begin creating A New Africa
During December 2017, we identified a 61-acre piece of land in Mubende District in mid-western Uganda, that looked suitable for a pilot project. We purchased the land in2018, and in 2019 we started building Sharon Valley Christian Kibbutz Village.
Because of our vision’s similarity to Kibbutzim in Israel, during October 2018 and again in 2019, I led 10-day study tours to Israel where we visited several kibbutzim and moshavim to study, NOT to copy and paste, but to learn from their community and business models.

We acquired land and began to build A New Africa
