Pasture Valley Children’s Mission
Pasture Valley Farm and Children’s Home is a farm situated close to Nhlangano, Shiselweni Region, in the South of the Kingdom of Eswatini. Our farm consists of a dairy, a plant micropropagation laboratory, a plant nursery and a children’s home for orphaned and vulnerable children plus an education centre, a home-school, pre-school and a girl’s care centre. The farm is home not only to Peter and Michelle McCubbin and their family (farm owner) but to around 60 orphaned & vulnerable children on the Pasture Valley Farm site. The children previously living on the Ekuthuleni Mission site have now moved to the main farm site.
Pasture Valley Children’s Home endeavored to be as sustainable as possible. We have installed solar geysers for hot water and solar panels for electricity. Our water is pumped by a solar pump. We produce biogas and have our own electric vehicle to get around on the site powered by the sun. Our children get fresh milk daily from the dairy farm, as well as fresh vegetables from our garden. Each home has a fruit orchard with a variety of oranges, mulberries, pomegranates, apples and bananas. We also keep chickens on the farm, which provide fresh eggs for the homes.
Pasture Valley is also the base for the office and shop of the Bambanani Project which provides employment and empowerment for volunteer home-based carers working amongst women and men affected by HIV/AIDS in the Shiselweni Region of The Kingdom of Eswatini. We are also home to a Solar Training and Renewable Energy & Entreprenenurship Centre.
