The Vision

Why a home, and why now

Right now, many of the children we serve sleep on borrowed floors, move between relatives' homes, or shelter in spaces that were never meant for families. Some spend their nights in makeshift structures; others are passed from household to household as circumstances allow.

The Children's Home will change that. It's a permanent, safe residence built specifically for the children who need it most — a place where the basics are guaranteed and where a childhood can actually be lived, not just survived.

It's more than a building. It's a foundation — a stable point from which everything else becomes possible: school, health, friendships, the slow building of a future.

“I sleep on the floor at my aunt's house with four cousins. I dream of a safe place where I can study and grow.”

— Sarah, age 10

Inside the Home

A Room for Every Need

Designed with the children's daily lives in mind — from sleeping and studying to playing and simply being together.

Dormitories

Separate wings for boys and girls, with proper beds, storage, and clean bathrooms. Sixty children in total.

Dining Hall & Kitchen

A communal space where meals are shared three times a day — a kitchen built to serve everyone, every day.

Study Rooms

Quiet spaces with desks, computers, and a small library — designed so children can keep up with school and study in peace.

Outdoor Areas

A play area and a community garden — space for games, growing food, and simply being outdoors.

Quiet Room

A small room for reflection, reading, and one-on-one conversations with staff and visiting counsellors.

On-Site Care

Accommodation for two live-in caregivers, ensuring every child is watched over day and night.

Where We Are Now

The Path to Opening Day
