Students in Mfou submit business plan and prepare 0.5-acre pilot farm

This update covers student achievements at GBHS Mfou during a busy exam period as part of our Regenerative Agriculture School project.

Our student team finalised and submitted their 2025 School Enterprise Challenge business plan, incorporating revised sections on market research, financials, and impact metrics. They also secured the school canteen as the first buyer for their upcoming harvest. A 0.5-acre plot has been cleared and prepared for growing spinach and huckleberry.

Architect Cédric Delbeke delivered a first draft of the Ecological Learning Centre design, which we updated to meet local building codes. To meet tight deadlines, we held after-school and weekend sessions and paused less urgent work like marketing. Students continued to build ICT and financial literacy skills throughout the process.

Activities:

  • Finalised and submitted business plan for School Enterprise Challenge 2025

  • Updated business plan with market research, financial projections, and impact metrics

  • Secured school canteen as buyer for spinach and huckleberry harvest

  • Cleared and prepared 0.5-acre pilot plot for planting

  • Received first draft of Ecological Learning Centre design and revised for compliance

  • Designed WhatsApp campaign for January 2026

  • Guided students through peer reviews and expert consultations

  • Practised ICT and financial literacy by developing business plan summaries

Next, we’ll begin tracking pre-orders and draft a funding proposal for the Ecological Learning Centre
