Demonstration Projects for Defeat of Malaria

Each of the three initial demonstration projects have uniqueness due to regional conditions but will share in the same 7 common purposes.
Educate communities about the herbal cure for Malaria: Information about this herbal treatment will be given in local languages, so the people will understand the cure and the importance of the growing of the herbs.
Distribute Wormwood tea to the poor without charge: Given sufficient funds and timing of the harvest in China, a supply of herbs will be imported to be given to the needy, free of charge by faith-based organizations.
Establish cooperative mini-farms to grow Wormwood: Wherever possible, sites will be established to develop Wormwood as an agriculture crop. These farms will share equipment and facilities for the common good.
Create a water supply as necessary: Water wells and irrigation systems will often be required in order to assure consistent crop production. These water supplies will also be shared with the communities.
Market a portion of the herbal crop to generate income: A portion of the herbal crop production is to be sold to generate enough income to pay workers and operating expenses.
Obtain self-sufficiency in finance and management: It is a goal of this endeavor to make all the mini-farms self sustaining within 2 years i.e. able to pay all operational expenses.
Influence countries to redirect other funding: Global and other funding sources can be redirected toward this practical solution so that all of Africa will have this cure for Malaria.

Planning of demonstration farms for Kenya, Tanzania & Ugandabegan in the Fall of 2008. Each farm represents a different country of Eastern African, culture and climate. Collectively they will prove that this crop can be successful grown in virtually anywhere in the Sub-Saharan region where Malaria is the major health issue.

(1) Currently in Uganda, 500 acres have been provided along with full support of the government including the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture. (2) In Kenya, land has been made available. A vocational school for water well drilling and ministry training has been established. (3) An NGO has been established in Tanzania, and an initial acreage is being cleared. Additionally, a ministry school has been initiated to address the evangelism opportunity.

Starting Point

The first demonstration project is to be located in Maasai Land, Kenya where key people are already in place so that the project can be immediately launched. Land for the first farm is available, and a vocational program exists due to prior work. Very importantly, the groundwork has been established with the Ministry of Health and the NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization) of Kenya. Planting the first herbal crop is planned for March 2009.

Well Equipment and Supplies: This would include small bore, shallow well, gas powered hydraulic drilling machine similar to example at right. Also included is a backup gas powered (3.5 HP) utility pump, wind driven electrical generator (1KW), and electrical pump (10+ gallons/ min.), storage tanks, completion supplies and distribution connections & hoses. Solar power pumping is being investigated.

Land & Preparation: clearing, tilling, shaping, fencing and possible lease or purchase expenses.
Facilities & Equipment: Transportation vehicles and storage facilities and simple herbal drying barn.

Water Table: Tanzania location has a water table of less than 50 feet in depth, simplifying the well drilling and equipment. Kenya location has 2 shallow wells within the area of less than 120 feet, which is within the capability of the equipment. Uganda location is at an altitude not much higher than area lakes, so expectation for shallow well is excellent.

Key People & Labor: Motivated and educated management is aboard in each location.
