Our first orphanage was built in Morobo. It began with 48 orphans, 12 widows (to care for the children), 1 pastor, 1 guard, and 1 farmer. It has grown to 72 orphans, 14 widows, 3 cooks, 1 pastor, 1 guard, and 1 farmer. This is the first time in the lives of these children that they are able to eat 3 meals a day on a consistent basis. It has now grown to 97 orphans and 42 workers, 14 widows, and 4 cooks. On the Orphanage grounds there is a school. Education is a large part of the orphanage. The school is for the orphans and also the local children. This has been such a great outreach. There are currently over 200 children in the school.
Along with the school, there is a Church. The children attend the Church and are overseen throughout the week by a pastor. This has also been a great outreach to the community. During the week the church is a place where people can come from Congo, Uganda and from all over Sudan to be trained in the Bible. This facility also has a medical clinic to meet the needs of the children and a water well.
The land for the second orphanage was purchased in December 2006 in Lura, Sudan. It was built and children moved in shortly there after. It is now the home of 107 orphans and 42 workers , 14 widows, 4 cooks, 1pastor, 1 guard and 1 farmer. This facility also has a school for the orphans and the local children. Lura Orphanage also has a church, a medical clinic and a water well.
A third orphanage and school have also been built, in Yei, Sudan. This orphanage was built in order to form a Secondary School. Both of the Primary School orphanages feed into this orphanage, so that when the children complete the proper education they will move into this orphanage.
