🏡 4. My Home Project : Building a Nurturing Future.
Currently, we reside in a rented house, but we dream of having “a place of our own.” On our own land, we envision creating a nurturing space that includes:
Boys’ and Girls’ Dormitories
Cafeteria / Multipurpose Dome
Staff Residence
Artificial Turf Football Field
Swimming Pool
To ensure the children’s home can become self-sustaining, we plan to operate a food service, open a football and swimming academy, and offer facility rentals for our football field and swimming pool.
Beyond generating income, this project serves a greater purpose. As our children grow, they will have the opportunity to work here as teachers, staff, coaches, cooks, and managers. This provides them with meaningful careers, allowing them to grow into self-reliant, contributing members of society. By establishing these facilities, we can extend support and open doors of opportunity to many more underprivileged children.
Support Us: We invite you to help make this dream a reality. Every act of kindness, no matter the size, makes a significant difference.
