In order to finance our charitable and humanitarian work, which is growing each day, we need a situation where we are bringing in money on a regular basis. Our policy, as determined by our CEO, Dr Ewan Denny, is to establish 15-20 businesses within Africa and each one, through their profits, will contribute to the financing of all our programmes.
By the end of 2024 we will have 5 poultry farms. We will grow these to large commercial businesses with a minimum of 10,000 chickens each. Our Kenya one, for example, currently has 3,500 birds and we shall double that number in 2025. Eggs are sold each day and we also sell the birds for meat.
We currently have one in Malawi and we have plans to have hundreds of pigs on site. We shall soon be establishing a bigger one in Nigeria.
These are our chain of grocery stores, which will sell our wide range of Rhema produced products, as well as other products.
We have over 30 lands in 10 countries, and some of them are hundreds of acres in size. Our largest one is 495 acres. These are part of the land for Rhema Towns and we shall be growing huge amounts of food to feed whole communities for free. And we shall also sell our produce at market to generate income that will be put back into our humanitarian programmes.
Gold has been discovered in one of our Rhema Towns and we have established a mining company that will do the drilling. We will not reveal where this is or in which country, because we had lots of people trespassing on our land digging for gold illegally and we had to take measures to remove them.
We have drilled wells and we also have a large water plant in Kenya, and we are producing our own Rhema Vital Water. These are pure bottles of water that we give out to people in the communities in which we operate, literally bringing thousands of bottles at a time, to bless people with. We also run this as a business and we sell to organisations and shops.
We currently have two and a third will open soon. These clinics are run by professional nurses and they generate income from the sale of the health products.
We have hundreds of orphans that we take care of and of course they attend our schools and get an education for free. Everyone else has to pay tuition fees in the normal way and this generates income for Rhema. We currently have 12 schools.
We have used our own farms to grow all types of food and we have used some of those foods to make other products. Thus far, we have Rhema Cooking Oil, Rhema Flour, Rhema Peanut Butter, Rhema Vital Water, Rhema Pineapple Juice, Rhema Peanuts, and we shall soon have Rhema Bread, and Rhema Honey. We are also looking at introducing a number of other products, all of which will be available in our shops and online stores.
Besides these, there are more business ideas that Dr Denny has, and he is going to introduce them and turn them into ministry businesses which can turn over a good profit to finance our huge humanitarian efforts. “More money means we can build more schools, take care of more orphans and the elderly, feed more people etc” says Dr Denny.
