Projects
There are a variety of projects we are currently developing. As capital is raised for each project, we are able to pay for materials and construct this projects in stages. The following projects have partial funding and we have begun construction.
Greenhouses for self sustainability and feeding the community.
Sanctuary of Betania: Building the additions and extensions to the original church structure. New foundations, roofing, chapel, clergy house, convent, Betania Choir chancel, and confessionary.
Betania Medical Center: Hospital that will serve the medical needs of entire surrounding community. This project has been fully designed and planned by architects and is only waiting for funds to begin contruction.
Farming Animals: Raising animals on the farm to provide food and coproducts.
Maintenance and updates materials to replace outdated or failing sections on the Betania Farm.

Betania Agrícola Greenhouses
One of the great projects in development are greenhouses. There are currently four large greenhouses growing a variety of vegetables. Italian basil, cilantro, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and much more to come. The Betania Agricola group here manages all the planting and maintenance for this project. This project has created jobs for over 30 local residents that were previously unemployed. When harvest is collected, the crops are shared among the community with a small portion being sold in the local market for reinvesting the profit to purchase more seeds and pay the
The Betania Agrícola group works weekly to maintain and develop the agricultural farm for this sustainable community. This is extremely important as the food here provides nourishment to the community and its families.

Completed Lagoon Project
This lagoon project was funded by the generous donors Terry and Anna Darby. This project took two years to complete, but when it was finished, the site in simply breathtaking. This lagoon is 15 meters deep at the deepest part of the lagoon. The lagoon will provide water irrigation to all the fruit trees and crops on the entire community farm . It will also provide water during the dry season for the future homes that have yet to be developed on the land. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for our donors. Thank you immensely and may God always repay you for your generosity.
Our Lady of Reconciliation
Having a great team is important with this mission. Our devotion to Our Lady of Reconciler of All Peoples and Nations helps us remember why Our Lord has put us on this earth. To love one another and help everyone in need.
