Project CANAAN
Each participant will be encouraged to maintain a group mindset throughout your trip. We want to ensure that everyone has a great experience, and we make preparations based on what is best for the group. As Project Canaan grows, specifically our children’s campus, we must make modifications that are going to best serve those on and off the property, as well as provide consistency and structure for the schedules our staff has worked so diligently to put in place. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to improve your trip experience!
Note: Limited to 40 Volunteers.
KHUTSALA™ ARTISANS
The Khutsala™ Artisan shop on Project Canaan will be open multiple times throughout the week, so you will be able to stock up on our beautiful Khutsala and Kufundza products. Our jewelry, Christmas ornaments, charcuterie boards and many other home items are all handmade on site, providing employment for our neighboring communities. All profits are used to further our mission of self-sustainability and to provide care for the 360+ children living on Project Canaan. These make great gifts or souvenirs, and each purchase truly makes an impact! You will also have one day “off property” where you will visit a local game drive and have a chance to do some shopping at a local market.
