Build a Village...that will build a nation
Today, we can be a force for good on an
unprecedented scale. By contributing to the Build a Village Project, you can
support a project so vast it will affect lives in Malawi for generations to
come.
The Build a Village Project has two goals. The first is to build an actual village in Malawi, Africa. The second goal is to make this village a "living classroom." Farmers from throughout Malawi will come to this village and be educated and trained in numerous disciplines including fish farming, drip irrigation, sustainable farming, forest conservation and tree farming, and more.
The ultimate goal is to train a cadre of self-sufficient farmers who will pass on what they have learned in their home villages. The Force for Good Foundation is undertaking this project with Napoleon Dzombe, the owner/operator of the Vitameal plant, Malawi Project. The program will be conducted in cooperation with the Malawi Government, the Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agriculture, and the Bunda College of Agriculture, University of Malawi.
Progress on Stage I of the Project has already been made, including the construction of a dam resulting in a lake; the planting of trees; and the beginnings of a nursery, with 134,000 plants now in the ground. We have also secured the approval of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Forestry, and the Malawi Revenue Authority.
To reach Stage II of this project, we need your support to help build housing for farmers and their families, classroom and administrative blocks, a laboratory, livestock fences, and more. Your cash contributions to the Force for Good Foundation will help make it possible. Furthermore, for every two-bag purchase of VitaMeal", Nu Skin Enterprises will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Build a Village Project.
Our goal is to raise $110,000 needed to complete Stage I of the project by the 2006 North American Convention in October. Some of you will even have the chance to travel to Malawi for the Village ground-breaking. We look forward to making this ambitious, life-changing project a reality with your involvement.
