Children's Village: The Vision
One village...
...10 homes...
...80-100 orphans...
... in loving new families...
... in a Christian community...
... where they are free to be...
... all that HE made them to be!
The Concept
We want to see orphans growing up in the love and security that a family provides. Orphanages play an important role in housing vulnerable children. But we believe families play an even more imprtant role! We want to see them raised within their communities but at the same empowered to change the communities they live in.
These villages will be totally self sufficient through a number of initiatives depending on the location, whether it be through agriculture, tourism or commerce.
Mbonisweni Children's Village
After miraculous provision this Eastwood estate will be the site of our first children's village. It is perfect! Situated just beyond Backdoor, this site has 23 acres of fenced-in developed land with 5 fully built 3-4 bedroom, 2 bathroom houses. It also has a borehole, electricity and is close to schools and to our local Partner in Harvest church. Working together with local authorities we are getting the village ready for the first children, with plan to devleop further. It also has another 43 acres of undeveloped land attached that we can use to sustain the village.This land had been on sale for almost 5 years but has never been bought... Papa was saving it for His kids!
We are now trusting that HE will provide & bring forward the people with the means and assistance we need to see this vision become reality.
For the full vision....
