Build with us a better future of the girls. Every donation counts and is highly appreciated!
Development of the Plot
We are in the process of a five phase building project. The building of a complex to house 48 girls in Ongata Rongai, in the countryside of Nairobi is complete. This has helped in removing 48 girls from the city and gave them more of a "home" atmosphere. Each group of twelve girls is housed with a mother. They eat together, study together and play together as a family.
Through the help of well wishers in 2002, the church bought a 5-acre plot 25 kilometres away from the PLCC dropping centre. The plot was purchased with an intention of constructing classrooms and dormitories as per the master plan to accommodate the project registered children.
Ongoing activities on this plot since its purchase have included poultry raising, gardening, tree planting, fencing, and construction of a permanent access road. To date, ten milestones have been accomplished, as shown in the chart.

We also have the wish to build a chapel for the compound. Right now we are coming together to celebrate the Sunday service in a simple house made of corrugated sheets. Whenever a door will open up for building a chapel, we'll be ready to act - the earlier the better and it is never too late.
There is still a lot ahead of us.
