Projects

Eternal Pre and Primary School

In the heart of Tabora, Tanzania, the Eternal Family School is changing lives every day. Established by the Eternal Family Association, the school now serves over 550 children, including those from our family villages and the surrounding community.

This is more than just a school, it’s a safe, nurturing environment where children receive quality education, Christian counseling, daily meals, clean clothing, and the encouragement they need to pursue their dreams. For many, it’s their first experience of consistent care and genuine support.

The Eternal Family School is raising a generation of confident, compassionate, and educated young people ready to shape a brighter future for Tanzania.

Chicken Farm

In our mission to care for orphaned and vulnerable children, nutrition plays a vital role. That’s why the Eternal Family Chicken Farm in Tabora, Tanzania, is such a blessing—providing a reliable source of eggs and meat for the children and families in our care.

Our chicken project produces both eggs and broilers for the families. We currently have about 700 laying hens that produce close to 600 eggs per day. These eggs are used by the families and the extra are sold. We also raise broilers on a schedule to provide fresh poultry for each family.

With the success of our current operation, we are now planning to expand. We aim to build a new facility that will accommodate an additional 1,500 laying hens, an important step toward increasing our capacity and strengthening food security for our growing community.

The Eternal Family Chicken Farm is a vital part of our holistic care model—meeting physical needs, teaching life skills, and reinforcing our belief that every child deserves nourishment, dignity, and a strong foundation for the future.

Crop Farm

Growing food crops for is a crucial part of Eternal Families Tanzania’s vision for sustainability. The Mabama and Useko crop farms are about 45 minutes away from Village 1. The land has been in a process of removing trees, roots, ant hills and bush since 2020 to begin farming. We have cleared 120 acres and are growing white corn, sunflowers (to be crushed for cooking oil), peanuts, rice, and sweet potatoes. We also grow watermelon during the dry season and use the well to irrigate the crop. Future plans include growing tomatoes and other vegetable crops. Management of the crop farm is under the careful supervision of Andrew and his ten workers. They live on the farm and work diligently to do 90% of the work of planting, cultivation, and harvest by hand. We are fortunate to have some equipment through the generous support of donors such as a tractor, planter, disc harrow and wagon. We also have a diesel-powered corn sheller. We have worked closely with Tumbi Agricultural Research College to soil test our farms and find ways to increase our production. Our soil is low pH and needs lime. It also requires the application of manure to improve organic material in the land and increase fertility.

Our mill was installed in early 2025 and is now being used to produce flour and cooking oil for the families. The corn is first cleaned to remove any foreign material and then run through the maize peeler. Maize peels is a by-product of this process and can be fed to the cows. Sunflower seed is crushed in our oil press to produce very fine cooking oil. Sunflower cake is a by-product of oil production. Sunflower cake is a good protein source and can also be fed to the cows. Our goal is to produce enough flour and cooking oil to supply the needs of the families and school, and any extra can be sold.

Dairy Farm

In Tabora, Tanzania, the Eternal Family Association is preparing to launch a dairy farm that will provide fresh milk for the children in our family homes. Over the past five months, farmland has been cultivated with cereals to ensure enough feed for the cattle year-round.

Ten acres of land was purchased near Village 1 to start a small dairy farm to produce fresh milk in June 2024. The dairy barns for 10 milking cows are built along with a house for the dairy herd manager. We will be buying cows in late 2025 and hope to produce fresh milk by early in 2026. We will be using the milk fresh at for the families and selling the extra in the local community. If we reach our production goals, we will consider producing other milk products such as yogurt, butter and mtindi (fermented milk).

Fish Farm

In our ongoing mission to provide healthy, sustainable nutrition for the children in our care, Eternal Family has developed a seasonal Fish Farm in Tanzania. This thoughtful initiative ensures a steady supply of fresh fish meat, rich in protein and essential nutrients, for the children and the families we support.

Operated with care and in harmony with the natural rhythms of the environment, the fish are raised in seasonal cycles, allowing us to grow them ethically and efficiently. The farm not only contributes to the children’s well-being but also promotes self-reliance and food security within our homes.

With each harvest, we’re not just feeding bodies—we’re investing in a healthier, stronger future for our Eternal Family.

The goal of all of our farming activity is feed the families, children at the school and create income for EFT and RTC. We look for continued investment in the equipment and technology that will increase our yields and efficiency. Interested donors can contact Mark Yeazel at y2kows@gmail.com.
