I am looking for someone that can prepare CAD/CAM plans for constructing a large water collection unit out of bamboo, PVC connectors and epoxy paste. It is designed for implementation in Uganda where my non-profit operates a 15-acre farm.

The designer should be a visionary who seeks to use his/her talent to effect a major change for humanity. This program has the potential to save thousands of lives in sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the world. There is a "frequency" to this project that everyone involved must personally feel.

Preliminary documents and details will be sent to all interested parties.

Mission Statement

"World Hunger Team seeks to improve the health and well-being of people in poverty by enabling access to organic and sustainable nutrition and safe, clean drinking water."

Description

World Hunger Team (WHT) is a true 501(c)3 non-profit Christ-centered foundation based in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 2008, we have grown in countless ways from our start. Our mission has expanded to truly tackle hunger on a worldwide basis. We have designed and tested a variety of growing methods for both indoor and outdoor growing. We are adapting hydroponic techniques to traditional farm growing, and also working to improve food security in Africa.

We currently operate a 15-acre farm in Namalemba Village, Iganga, Uganda. It is known as the "Lost Crops of Africa Research Farm." We have installed a bore hole and solar-powered pump. We have planted coffee, beans, cabbage, corn and much more. We are testing many plots of "lost crops" that have great nutrition and flavor.

We also are testing Field Hydroponics in Mbale, Uganda.

Domestically we are implementing the "MyCityFarm.org" program to bring Indoor Community Gardens to communities and organizations nationwide.
