Project Canaan

A Place of Hope

Project Canaan is Heart for Africa’s 2,500 acre large-scale land development project being used to bring HOPE to the tiny Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) by focusing on four key areas: Hunger, Orphans, Poverty and Education. It will provide training and employment, while supporting orphans and vulnerable children on the property and across the nation.

Project Canaan Farm (PCF) has multiple approaches to agriculture utilizing both outdoor and greenhouse crop production, dairy farming, the raising of chickens and goats, and the production of fruit wherever possible on the land.  Proceeds from farming are used to help Project Canaan be a sustainable community, as well as help support the children and churches across the country that Heart for Africa has partnered with.


The Project Canaan Children (PCC) program provides a safe haven for orphans and vulnerable children.  Children’s homes and schools have been and will continue to be built to provide for the ever-growing number of orphans being left in the wake of the drought, disease, starvation and the AIDS pandemic.  This will provide them a chance to live and grow as well as be educated to help break the cycle of ignorance and poverty in their generation.


Our African humanitarian organization cares for 300+ abandoned/orphaned children who are living at Project Canaan and we employ 400+ people from the surrounding community.  Each Swazi employed is responsible for feeding an average of 7 people at home, meaning over 2,000 people directly benefit from Project Canaan. We receive a new baby on average every 12 days.  We must continue to plan for housing, education, staffing and food production with these numbers in mind. Take a tour of Project Canaan.
