Ethnic violence broke out in Manipur on May 3, 2023, with reports of 140 deaths with homes and churches burned, and an estimated 50,000 people displaced.
Hope Gardens are committed to providing relief and support to the people of Manipur affected by this violence.
The violence has been largely concentrated in an area where the majority Meitei community and the tribal Kuki community have been clashing.
The government and army have set up camps to provide shelter and food for the displaced people with different organizations across the country providing medication, food, and support.
We are responding to the situation in Manipur by providing the following:
Shelter for displaced families, including food, accommodation, and schools for their children.
Part-time work in our paddy fields for some workers.
Jobs, accommodation, and food for two Bible college teachers.
Education, accommodation, and food for 10 Bible college students who have had their studies disrupted.
We are committed to providing relief and support to the people of Manipur affected by this violence. We believe that everyone deserves to live in peace and security, and we will continue to work to help those who have been affected by this tragedy.
Hope Gardens is always buzzing with activity, and today is no exception! After a period of fallow, we are delighted to announce that we have replanted our paddy field.
Planting day is a reminder of the importance of teamwork and community. It is also a day to celebrate the blessing of this land and the promise of a bountiful harvest.
As you may remember, our paddy field and the neighboring farms all suffered from neck blast, a fungal disease that reduced our last harvest by 35%. After consulting with government agricultural officers on how to reduce the impact of this disease, we are now allowed to replant the field
The paddy field team work tirelessly to prepare the field and plant the rice seedlings. They are also proud to teach Bible college students a new skill: planting paddy. The students are eager to learn and they work hard alongside the team. The team is happy to share their knowledge and experience with the students, knowing that they will take this new skill with them and use it to help others in the future.
Here is a video from Gold as an update!
