Menaa Uganda is the vision of Rob and Chris McFarlane who know and love Jesus and have a passion to share His heart through every part of their lives by using the gifts that God has invested in them. MENAA
The meaning of “Menaa” is a port or harbour; a place where vessels come in from the sea for refuelling, restoration, and repair. In the same way, we seek to use our giftings and experience to
raise up young men and women and to have an open home and heart, providing local communities and international visitors with a place for training, mentorship, and nurturing. OBJECTIVE
At the heart of Menaa is a desire to empower the young men and women of Uganda to rebuild the nation through a sustainable framework of practical training and gospel-centred teaching. HOW
-Training young men and women in farming the land using “Farming God’s Way “ curriculum which teaches sustainable agriculture using biblical principles.
-Development and training in Aquaculture. Students will be trained in Catfish and Tilapia fish farming using above ground tanks to breed and grow them on to maturity ready to sell in the local market.
-Physiotherapy for children with special needs. In Uganda children with disabilities are often misunderstood, considered a curse, and ultimately abandoned. We will partner with existing organisations making provision for children with special needs to help develop increased awareness and offer physiotherapy training for local carers and therapists.
-Hosting at Menaa. Our mission is to haves an open home and heart, providing local communities and international visitors with a restful place for training, mentorship, and nurturing. We seek to cultivate an atmosphere of worship and enjoyment of the presence of God; where there is space created to be built up, revived, and enter new places of freedom in Christ.
-Volunteers. There will be opportunity to volunteer on site in the tree nursery and to contribute to ongoing community projects working with children with special needs. OUTCOME
-Menaa agricultural and aquaculture training programs will result in equipping young men and women to provide an income and sustainable livelihood for their families.
-There will be an increased awareness around disability and empowerment of families and communities to embrace children with differences.
-Menaa hosting will facilitate physical and spiritual renewal for local and international visitors, fostering new friendships and God given connections.
