Board of Directors
Wayne and Jean Shafer, Founders
Since their retirement, Wayne and his wife, Jean, are using the skills and business acumen developed at Contract Pharmacy Services to teach missionaries on the field to operate a successful business. As food insecurity is amazingly complex in the Eswatini, the creation of The Stewardship Foundation (TSF) seeks to be a part of this solution by investing in hydroponic infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa.
