Burao Academy Farm applies “teach a man how to fish!” mindset Since its inception, the Burao Academy Farm has been providing organic fruits and vegetables – papayas, papers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, to name a few. The onsite farm has given the students the first-hand experience to participate in planting more than 1000 shade trees, flowers and fruits and vegetables. Students are exposed to variety of techniques in planting organic food and incorporating into the school meals – improving student health. This results in strengthening children’s knowledge and attitudes about food, agriculture, growing cycles, nutrition, and the environment at an early age. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e5e0ad1758e0b80e7d189/1665240388228-J5NMJ31ZN78MJNBNXM96/272248210_4680123405398039_6342929942807271142_n.jpg Our Farm https://www.buraoacademy.org/give daily 0.75 2025-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e5e0ad1758e0b80e7d189/17ebd2e0-28da-44ba-8bc7-143daa5219ca/Photo4.jpg Donation https://www.buraoacademy.org/burao-academy daily 0.75 2025-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e5e0ad1758e0b80e7d189/264adcbe-90c9-40ef-be38-29dd23327927/Student+Projects.jpg Our Mission - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e5e0ad1758e0b80e7d189/89aed4e2-af7b-405d-bae1-fe3fb1413441/Farhan9.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e5e0ad1758e0b80e7d189/9f169e5c-27f5-4b14-91e6-bb521bf14b20/Photo2.jpg Our Mission https://www.buraoacademy.org/founders-board daily 0.75 2025-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e5e0ad1758e0b80e7d189/949cf76e-98e8-4fa1-a083-c5d76ce6a292/Farah.jpg The Team - Make it stand out Farah M.
