Weeding Power Tools

At present, our farm relies on manual weeding techniques, which can be labor-intensive and physically taxing for our workers. To alleviate this strain and significantly boost efficiency, we are seeking funding to acquire weeding power tools.

To make this transition to mechanized weeding a reality, we require a total of $1,500.00 US Dollars. This funding will enable us to procure the necessary weeding power tools, empowering our workers to weed the farmland more efficiently while reducing the physical strain on them.

Ocean Breeze Generator Initiative: Adverse Weather Conditions Impacting Brenu, West Africa

In Brenu, West Africa, we are currently facing a significant challenge due to adverse weather conditions. These conditions have resulted in power outages affecting our chalets, WiFi services, and kitchen facilities where we store our moringa powder, which are crucial for the comfort and convenience of our service trip guests.

To address this issue, we require a total funding of $7,000.00 US Dollars. This funding will enable us to acquire a robust generator capable of supplying power to six chalets, our outdoor kitchen, outdoor washroom, and outdoor dining area. The $7,000.00 US Dollars also covers the cost of shipping the generator from the United States to Ghana, ensuring a comprehensive solution to our power supply challenges.

Moringa Farm Project

OBey Foundation has been growing moringa trees for over 10 years now for the purpose of promoting wellness in areas where the foundation has a presence. The Moringa tree is a tropical tree which is considered a superfood and can survive droughts. The leaves can be ground into powder which provides the body with most of the nutrients and antioxidants needed for healthy living. OBey conducts community seminars throughout the year in Ghana about moringa to promote healthy living and cooking. We give seedlings to all community members in attendance each time we conduct these seminars at no cost to encourage growing moringa trees at each household. We also process leaves into powder and tea leaves for sale to sustain the farm operations and our Ghana mission. We also process the seeds into moringa seed oil which is good for face, hair, body, and healthy cooking.  

We need your support to expand our moringa tree planting from 2 acres to 5 acres of trees. This will require a more elaborate irrigation system to include a well, a water pump, drip tape irrigation system, and power equipment to prepare the planting rows. We will also repurpose our current farmhouse into a moringa powder and oil processing facility. This will allow us to increase our inventory and cut down on processing costs by doing it all in- house. To address this issue, we require a total funding of $5,000.00 US Dollars.

Brenu Clinic Maternity Ward Operating Equipment and Supplies

OBey Foundation with the help our generous supporters is happy to say that we have completed the build out of the maternity ward at the Brenu Clinic. This maternity ward will provide services to the Brenu community as well as surrounding villages like Ayensudo, Ampinyim and Ankwanda. Upon completing the maternity ward structures, the Ghana Health Department assigned a midwife to the clinic who will be on site 24 hours a day.

With your support, we can purchase all the necessary equipment, furniture, and supplies needed to transition the maternity ward structure into a fully operating facility.
