This is to establish a home for orphaned and unwanted children up to the age of 18 years. The facility will become a permanent home for the children. We will seek to provide these children with food, clothing, shelter, and personal care by adult foster parents.
New housing units have been designed to accommodate a married couple and 10 children. We believe, that parents will within this family environment be able to spend time, energy, patience and concentration in order to actively become involved In the child reasing process. There will be 10 housing units so the home will, when fully occupied, be able to house 100 children. We would endeavour to train up each child in the way he or she should go, so that when they are mature they will not forget the training they have received. The results will be well balanced and thoroughly equipped young people.
We will also provide education from kindergarten up to the school diploma stage (5 to 18 year). The central focus of education will be sowing for excellence. As educators we realize that the work in the sphere of education may not show immediate results. Yet, as seeds of truth are sown, the students will be well taught in principles that will enable them to succeed, and help them build strong futures. Their education will be holistic as an endeavour will be made to meet their social, mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial needs.
the ground from the orphanage
The development of the agricultural opportunities are twofold. Firstly, we would like to use it for training the children who would like to farm, in what ever way, to have sufficient knowledge to do so. Secondly, we will use it to create some degree of selfsufficiency by using the available crops. The existing orchards will be developed further by addition of various types of fruit trees. Animal sheds for cattle, sheep, chickens and rabbits have been planned.
At the home we plan to have a central kitchen and laundry. A health care facility has also been included for the medical treatment of children, should this be needed.A section of ground will be developed for sport and recreational facilities.From the above description one can conclude that the resources required to accomplish this vision are substantial. Because of trust in God we will get there. We aim to commence the building program during February 2000.
Will you prayerfully consider if you should in anyway get involved. You are free to contact us at any of the addresses given at this website.. See: Contact.
