Unconditional love is the cornerstone of transformation.
We have built a village to rescue those who have no one else and to let them know that they are loved.
A village of hope.
The Village is family centered with houses with 8-10 children (either boys or girls) living together. Each house has a house mother or father. Children learn basic living skills; cook the food, clean, do their own laundry by hand, caring for one another. Children over 12 are given the opportunity to work several hours a week for a small allowance doing such things as milking the cows, helping in the orchard, collecting eggs, harvesting the vegetables, etc. Activities include Bible studies, monthly birthday events, leading worship at church, sports activities, group study times, etc.
