Every child has come from a very bad situation but due to good health, education, loving parents and a good family environment, all our kids (13 right now) are very happy and really going forward in life.

The vision:
To be a place which is full of love and life.
To be a place which provides housing, education and health care to orphans, the abandoned, rejected and lost children of all faith.
To be a place which helps and empowers children to become independent, responsible and successful citizens who will change and bless their own people, nation and beyond.

The future:
The orphanage home is a rented house and the lease is for two more years. We do own 3000m3 of land and I am currently in the stage of setting our big fundraiser for next year 2009 to build a new home for our children. It would be a much bigger place that could take up to 50 kid, have our own community hall, class rooms for teaching and a sports field.

How the fundraising will work:
We are putting together 600 packs, and in a pack there will be a t-shirt, hat, stickers and a calendar of all our children for 2009. We are hoping to send these packs all over the world to people that would like to get behind the fundraiser. By receiving a pack you would be committing to raising $1000 during the year of 2009 to help with the building project. with 600 packs going out we will raise $600 000 to build our new home.
