Heart for Africa - Project Canaan

As well as providing a sustainable food supply, eggs are a high quality protein source which boosts immunity levels, supports brain development of infants and concentration levels of children attending school. Eggs are an amazing food, and SANOVO TECHNOLOGY GROUP intends to spread good karma to those in need, with eggs. With that in mind, the choice of supporting the project Heart of Africa foundation and their Canaan Egg Farm, in Eswatini, was easy.

We are highly involved in Heart for Africa's Project Canaan and have committed ourselves to supporting the Foundation.

In May 2022, we committed to support the Heart for Africa Foundation and its egg farm at Project Canaan with a 10,000 USD donation. This has been repeated every year since, including 2026.

For 10.000 USD, Project Canaan / Heart for Africa can deliver around 240,000 meals.

In 2025, project Canaan have distributed 800,000 eggs across Eswatini to at least 6,500 children and across all programs Heart for Africa delivered 1.85 million meals.

About Heart for Africa

Project Canaan is Heart for Africa's 2,500-acre large-scale village development project being used to bring HOPE to the tiny Kingdom of eSwatini (formerly Swaziland) by focusing on four key areas: Hunger, Orphans, Poverty and Education. The organisation is a non-profit public charity. Working alongside rural churches in eSwatini, they provide care and hope for the future for children in this small African nation by ensuring training and employment while supporting orphans and vulnerable children on the property and across the nation. 

As of January 2021, they have more than 275 orphaned children who call Project Canaan home and they employ 280+ people from the surrounding community. The project gives the children a chance to live, grow up and be educated to help break the cycle of ignorance and poverty in their generation.

Start of the journey

In 2016, we started our participation in the project. Here we donated a complete boiling machine to the egg farm, together with our employees and suppliers.

In 2018, we followed up by yet another donation, namely an egg cooling machine. 

The machines are custom-made by engineers from SANOVO in order to accommodate local conditions and the entire operation is supported by solar energy.

We are proud to be part of the amazing project and be able to hand over our know-how within egg processing to those in need.

Check out the video below where the supervisor Sifiso Nkambule gives you a tour around the barn and explains the impact of our donation. Lucky Manyatsi and Phindile Mkwanazi, who deliver the hard-boiled eggs, share how this job has impacted their lives and the lives of their families.
