​The “Kaima Center for Economic Development and Educational Training” allows us to build the capacity to function and grow as a multi-location, national and international educational network. Through the Center, all Kaima farms, of which there are three in Israel and one in Africa, are given access to tested educational programs; evaluation mechanisms; professional, pedagogic, and economic training/mentoring; and agricultural assistance. Each farm, while agreeing to follow Kaima’s “employment-as-education” model, maintains its own identity, board of directors, community relationships, and customer base.

As we prepare to enter the next decade, Kaima is undergoing an exciting re-organization process to unify our network of four youth-run educational farms under one operating model. This process of consolidating all educational, business, and financial resource development activities across the network is already underway.
