Sustainable Farm Project
Moving towards a Sustainable Future
At IGF our aim is to empower a community to provide for themselves, ultimately reducing their dependence on others. Watch this video and see how the community is beginning to provide for their children via an innovative farming project.
Investing just once in an IGF sustainable project can help provide permanent ongoing funding for children.
How it works...

Current Farm Projects
Each project is at one of 3 stages, as can be seen below.
1Fundraising Stage
The first step to making IGF projects a reality is raising funds! We have several sustainable projects that you can be part of if you would like to invest in the future of Ugandan children.

Can you help?
Donate today or help raise funds to get these projects happening faster. Every dollar counts.
Currently, a majority of IGF services are funded by ongoing donations through international child sponsorship. Our dream is to ensure the project becomes self-sustainable, where we empower the local community to provide these services for the children directly. This not only eliminates dependance on others, but restores dignity and freedom to the community.
Our goal is to establish an agricultural project that will provide income generation through self-sustainable maize crop production which can be used to provide the funds required to manage the multiple IGF children’s services.
Financial Outcomes:
It is expected the project will generate AUD$52,080 return over the first 12 months, and increasing in subsequent years as coverage and efficiency increases.
NB: All subsequent seasons (after season 1) will provide higher returns, as capital costs will be incurred in season 1 only
TOTAL GROSS REVENUE
AUD$ 148,000.00
TOTAL NET REVENUE
AUD$ 52,080.00
Beneficiary Outcomes:
The income generated from this project will be used for:
• Operational running costs for the 4 IGF Primary Schools and the Vocational College (4,500 students), including; teacher salaries, text
books, clean water access for the local community and school feeding.
• Children’s medical clinics including; milk for babies in the children’s
hospital, treatment for malaria, immunisation.
• Vocational training resources inlcuding; tools and materials for sewing,
carpentry and building.
This project is tax deductible.

Currently, a majority of IGF services are funded by ongoing donations through international child sponsorship and donations. Our dream is to become 100% self-sustainable, where we empower the local community to provide these services for the children directly. This not only eliminates dependance on others, but restores dignity and freedom to the community.
Our goal is to establish an irrigation system that will assist with income generation, as it enables higher value crops such as tomatoes and onions to be grown. The increased profits from this type of farming can be used to help fund the multiple IGF children’s services.
Financial Outcomes:
It is expected the project will generate AUD$160,545 profit over the first 12 months, and increasing in subsequent years.
TOTAL GROSS REVENUE
AUD$ 296,400
TOTAL NET PROFIT
AUD$ 160,545
After initial installation costs are expended the income generation of the project excels. The net profit in the second year is estimated at AUD$206,200.
