Project Leader:
Sister Mary Chilengwe
Sister Mary Chilengwe, of the Sisters of Child Jesus, in the Archdiocese of Kasama in Zambia runs a farm. The congregation has continued serve the people during this challenging moment. At the present moment, they shell corn by hand, and it would save time and effort if they could secure a diesel-powered machine. This new equipment would be made by a local manufacturer in Kasama, Zambia who provides other farmers with similar industrial tools. Given electricity challenges in the farm, a diesel powered sheller is the most economical and practical. Sister Mary and her team know that this support would help them continue to help care for the community. Offering more of their time for pastoral services and providing resources. A gift of $25 can help buy diesel filter oil.

We heard from Sister Mary Chiengwe, of the Sisters of Child Jesus, who shared these photos. The corn sheller was made possible by generous donations to her project as presented here on Missio. ~ MISSIO Team
I would like to thank all the people of God who have sacrificed from the little they have to help us buy the corn sheller. The problem of shelling corn by hand will be over now. The sisters of the child Jesus are grateful. May God bless you more.
