We’re in an exciting stage of planning and developing our charity to make a special place for children who have lost their parents.
We’re collaborating with experts to design something that will keep the needs of the children at the core of all we do.

Our Discoveries
The operation styles of regular orphanage institutions are harmful to children and
their development because they can never fill a child’s need
for a LIFELONG caring mother.
When children are abandoned, orphaned, and mistreated,
their lives and futures are at stake.
It’s is vital to proceed with a plan for them that will give them more than
just the food and shelter of an institution,
but rather a loving family to grow in.
We have prayerfully decided on a plan of care that comes as
close as possible to God’s plan that children should grow up with a
consistent mother figure and a good father figure to guide them.
This plan is NOT an “orphanage” but a “Children’s Village.”
It is a place for children that is comprised of a loving neighborhood of houses.
In each home there is a housemother and 8 children forming a family.
In this way the needs of the children will be met with stability and security.
We are committed to making this happen for many children in need.
