We need to provide snacks and meals for both children and parents who come to our Center and participate in important trainings and meaningful activities. These meals will sometimes be the only meal they receive that day. We want to make sure bellies are full so that likewise, their hearts and minds can go home full.

The Family Center desperately needs to be protected from its surrounding red earth, as frankly it’s quite a mess every single day. We are planning to lay concrete for the driveway and surrounding yard for easy access, and to finish the flooring inside the Center.

A great way to help supplement high food costs is to grow a garden on part of the land! We hope to grow things like cassava, yams, plantains, and more. We hope that this will be a sustainable way to help support the feeding program.

We are already seeing the need to purchase more land, and really desire to purchase the piece of land neighboring ours. This is a project where you can clearly see the long-term impact. We have so many dreams and plans for our community that we already have the need to expand.

The soccer field is the center of where much community is formed. We long to serve our community by providing a space for people to gather, where fun activities can be held for families, and for rich relationships to be formed.

Although it is a huge blessing to be located next to an accessible road, noise from passerby and motorcycles have been quite disruptive to our programs. A wall will not only help to mitigate this issue, but will also be an added form of security as we hold children’s programs.
