Our Progress
Every brick laid and every drop of clean water is a step toward a brighter future for the children we serve. Thanks to your generosity and support, we’ve already begun turning vision into reality.
Building the Church Wall
A secure home starts with safety at all facilities. This past year, construction began on the protective wall around the nearby St. Francis church.
Why it matters: The wall provides security, stability, and a clear foundation for the buildings to come.
What we’ve achieved: Bricks laid, sections standing tall, privacy and security are established.
What’s next: Establishing an independent clean water source for the site.
Drilling the Well
Clean water is life. Access to safe drinking water will serve not only the children, but also the surrounding community. Almost 400 children are educated at the St. Francis site. With this well, these children no longer have to worry about where they will get their next drink of water.
Why it matters: Children no longer need to walk long distances for water, and the risk of waterborne illness is reduced.
What we’ve achieved: The well completed in late 2024, with successful testing of the first water flow.
What’s next: With the work at St. Francis complete, work can commence at the orphanage site proper.
