The areas of giving

The orphanage is in the process of being expanded.

Books and all other kinds of educational materials are needed

School fees for the children that are attending school ($3500 for 56 children)

A 14-passenger van for local transportation of children to and from school ($6500)

Solar Panels could provide a steady source of electricity for the home and the other structures. Currently, no generator is used to temporarily provide electricity primarily for communication purposes. ( this costs $ 4375)

The costs for administration and operation of Bringing Hope to the Family are estimated to amount to $ 2356 per month to be able to maintain current facilities, services, feed the children, purchase medications, and adequately pay the staff.

A set of bedding which includes a mattress, a blanket and sheets costs $120. In many places the orphans share beds and don’t have adequate bedding

$850 dollars will buy a heifer (pregnant cow). Cows provide milk for nutrition, and also become a source of income as the milk and dairy products

Poultry $ 2300 dollars will buy 500 chicks and feed them until they start laying eggs. Eggs are good for nutrition and a source of income.

Land for farming.($65000)

Any amounts of money can make a difference in any of these areas. We will trust organization to administer undesignated monetary gifts and to use them where the needs are the most pressing. For example, usually unannounced, a child may get sick and needs emergency care at a hospital or outside clinic. Remember, there is no health insurance.

If on the other hand, you have not experienced faith, then our prayer is also that you would experience the same blessing that you are bestowing upon our orphans--God has offered to provide for you, to adopt you and bring you into his family, making you a child of God.  Just as our orphans have done nothing to earn your kindness, so God has paid your debt as a free gift to you.   The apostle John, wrote, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  John 3:16.  Paul explains, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast.  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."  Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV  If you have not accepted this Gift from God, please pray to him and do so now, just as we gratefully accept your kind gift.  Thank you!  If you would like to discuss God's gift to you, please e-mail one of us.

It is our prayer that God will richly bless you for your act of kindness.  We pray that your kindness is the working out of your faith.  As James wrote "You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.  And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God's friend." James 2:22-23 NIV
