Built to Last. Designed to Give.
When Rain Edge International Centre was established, it became clear early on that relying solely on donations was not a sustainable foundation for long-term child care and community development. In response, the Hakika Industrial Park was born — a deliberate strategy to build income-generating enterprises directly on the compound that would fund the mission from within.
Each enterprise was chosen not just for its revenue potential, but for its direct relevance to the community around us. They meet real, everyday needs — clean water, milled grain, baked goods, skilled fabrication, and fresh produce — while employing local community members and channelling every surplus back into our child care, education, and community programmes.
Today, Hakika Industrial Park is one of the things that makes Rain Edge International Centre truly self-sustaining by design. It is not a side project — it is central to how we ensure that no child's future is left dependent on the next donation cycle.
How Our Enterprises Fund the Mission
Pure Water Packaging —
Clean Water for All
Access to safe drinking water is not a luxury — it is a right. Our water packaging plant was established in 2015 to address a critical gap in our community, where waterborne illness rates were among the highest in the district.
Today, our facility produces and distributes affordable, certified packaged drinking water to homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses across the region — while generating consistent revenue that funds our children's programs.
Bakery —
Fresh Every Morning
Our community bakery was born from a simple idea: the same skills we teach our youth in vocational training should produce real products for real people. Established in 2019, the bakery now produces fresh bread, rolls, pastries, and cakes every morning before sunrise.
Products are sold to local schools for their feeding programmes, market vendors, hospitals, and directly to community members — making affordable, fresh-baked goods accessible to everyone in the area.
Agriculture & Farming —
Growing What We Need
Our farm serves a dual purpose: it significantly reduces the food costs of the home and schools, and it provides a living classroom for children and vocational trainees who are learning sustainable agricultural practices.
We cultivate a diverse range of crops across forty acres of land, including vegetables, root crops, and fruit trees. Surplus produce is sold to local markets — adding an additional revenue stream to our enterprise portfolio.
Workshop —
Building Skills That Build Communities
Our workshop combines craftsmanship with practical training, providing young people with hands-on experience while producing quality products for our institutions and the wider community. Every project completed helps develop valuable technical skills and creates opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.
From furniture and construction materials to custom fabrication, the workshop supports our schools, children's home, and community projects while contributing to the long-term sustainability of RainEdge International.
Expanding Ventures —
Building Tomorrow's Income
As our existing enterprises mature and become more profitable, we are investing in the next generation of social enterprises. Our expansion strategy is guided by three principles: community need, youth employment, and long-term financial sustainability for our programs.
We currently have several ventures in the planning and early development phase, each designed to deepen our impact and reduce our dependence on external donations.
