Better Lives Foundation and Yonibana Sai Hospital has achieved recognition from Ministry of Health & Sanitation; Referral Hospital, Yoni district.

Sustainability

Sustainability is the key to a successful agricultural project. We recognise the synergy between the commercial and ethical objective and the result has been to create an ethical culture in everything we do. We strive to achieve our project objectives and have now started a program to use the 25 acres of land surrounding the hospital in Yonibana. The team have introduced different varieties of crops plus adding to the agricultural biodiversity of the region.

We also have access to further agricultural land near our hospital for future growth of crops. This would also lead to creating job opportunities for the local communities.

Crops we can grow:

  • Rice
  • Mangoes
  • Aloe Vera
  • Cashew nuts
  • Range of herbs
  • Pineapples
  • Bananas
  • Cassava
  • Potatoes
  • Assorted vegetables
  • Coconuts
