Proceeds from this annual event and other direct donations go to support our friend Barnabas Mwesiga, his farming and feeding team, his sports ministry and his Migisha Farm, located in the rural Mbarara District of Uganda. Barnabas is a small rural farmer that uses his farm to teach local people how to raise food and cash crops and get them to market. His effort is giving people hope and building local economies. A Christian man who is acting on his faith, Barnabas has a dream of hope. Hope for an economically strong future and a spiritually and physically well-fed equatorial Africa..
ABOUT THE EVENT
Hosted at Restoration Oaks Ranch every year, Wild Farmlands' African Party On The Ranch is an energetic fundraising party featuring lively African music, video, presentation and Q&A. The video and discussion will revolve around the food needs and economic conditions of equatorial Africa, and the accomplishments & resource needs of Barnabas, his team and his Migisha Farm in Uganda.
The Venue
