ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY
Like an infant, our first decade of existence was focused on learning how to walk. Now that our home is set up and school programs are running, it is timely to work towards ensuring a long term sustainability. We endeavour to experiment with income generation activities that would not only provide a source of income for the home, but also involve and help the young to learn experientially livelihood skills and entrepreneurship.
In September 2011, we launched LITTLE FINGY'S as a social enterprise to undertake all income generating initiatives. Little Fingy's is based on a non-loss, non-dividend social business model that aims to generate a financial surplus to support Children's Garden Home. Unlike a for-profit business that is set up for personal gain, Little Fingy's has a single social objective of enhancing self-sustainability for Children's Garden Home. Moreover, our children have the opportunity to see and learn experientially how to run a business.
We welcome you to support and partner with us in our self-help projects under the branding of Little Fingy's, and help us with new opportunities.
SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS
Little Fingy's Posho Mill Service
In July 2011, Alessandra Bruni and her friends from Italy sponsored a Posho Mill in Children's Garden Home. This machine mills maize into flour for making Ugali. Besides serving the domestic needs of the home, we are also offer milling service to the surrounding residents to generate an income for sustainability. As most customers prefer to buy the maize and have it milled on the spot, we also stock up maize for sale. We have a unique customer loyalty and referrer program. Come patronize us at the Little Fingy's Posho Mill Service! |
Little Fingy's Kuku (Chicken) Farming for Eggs
We started a chicken farm that provides our children with the nourishment of eggs. The farm also teaches our children a livelihood skill of rearing chicken. We sell a portion of the eggs laid by happy chicken to generate an income for self-sustainability. Would you like to enjoy eggs that are filled with kiddy love and joy?

Little Fingy's Moo Moo (Cow) Farm for Dairy Milk
We have started a dairy farm of 1 cow (with 1 more coming) so as to allow more children to benefit from milk nourishment. The kids also learn hands-on the livelihood skills of tending to cows. We sell a portion of the milk from our happy cows to generate an income to partially fund our electiricty bill. Come order Little Fingy's Dairy Milk for jolly good health! |
Little Fingy's Greenhouse Tomatoes
We started a tomato farm in a greenhouse that was sponsored by Chung Jin University in Korea. Planted with tender loving care by little fingers, our tomatoes grow up immersed in the joy and laughter of our children. We aim to channel the revenue from the sale of these tomatoes to cover the salary of a few staff and teachers. Support us and order our Little Fingy's Tomatoes today! |
