In 2003 Stillwater Rotary Club showed interest in assisting the MacCorkindales, through the purchase of much needed farming equipment, including a tractor.  The idea was to supply the orphanage with equipment required to make the orphanage self sufficient, both in terms of them growing and harvesting their own produce to eat, but also in that they could sell much of the surplus fruit and vegetables and then use that money to purchase other necessities.
The two Rotary Clubs were successful in obtaining a matching grant and purchasing the nominated equipment for MacCorkindales.  US$18,940 in total was raised for the purchases.  Since this time the fields have been ploughed for the first times in over 7 years, with maize and beans being initially planted and harvested along with fruit trees being planted for use later within a food processing plant.  This year, along with several large fields of mealie meal there are also several chilli fields being harvested to fill orders from Eswatini Kitchens for their export preserves business
