In 2017, we purchased two acres of land just outside the city of Uvira in eastern DRC. Since then, we have completed the full design and construction of our permanent facility, which now provides a safe and stable home for nearly 60 orphans. Built in carefully planned phases, the centre is staffed by dedicated caregivers and supported by volunteers and local workers.

On the surrounding land, we grow some of our own food and have even sold surplus produce to support the home’s self-sufficiency. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we have invested over $400,000 into creating a space where children can heal, learn, and thrive.

Our facility includes:

• Two acres of secure land purchased in 2017
• A ten foot security wall and guardhouse to protect the children
• Four houses, including three for the children and one for administration and a library
• A 3,800 square foot learning centre that also serves as an event space and dining area
• A large community kitchen that prepares meals for up to 200 people
• A deep fresh water well and 10,000 liter water storage tower

This home is more than just buildings. It is a symbol of hope, resilience, and community.
