Through a major Church in Sweden, City Church Stockholm, the first two Just Earth Farm Schools were started up in Southern Uganda by their Ugandan partner, City Church Kampala. These Schools were started in Rakai, Kooki (pronounced “Kotchi”) Kingdom in 2018 – through an initial grant of land by its King. Despite being hit by serious drought in the region last year, farmers in these Schools produced significantly higher yields than their neighbours, and there are plans to roll out further schools in 2020.
Dr. Joseph Serwadda, leader of the federation of Uganda’s Pentecostal Churches, has strongly requested that JE Farm Schools are rolled out across Uganda, and the New Wine network of Churches in Sweden have agreed to partner with City Church Stockholm to help to see this achieved.
