The Kids Check Out Their New Home!

www.theonepersonproject.org

Our amazing Agent, Emmanuel, took the 18 children and youth to see their new home! It isn't complete but we hope to have the children in there before Christmas. With your help we will continue to fund-raise and finish the orphanage in the new year, at which time the Muvuma ladies will bring 30 or more vulnerable children in to the family! 

The Muvuma Orphanage is a separate, locally-run NGO but we have added our support. It took 2 years for the Muvuma ladies to raise enough funds to build the first two-feet of the structure. The Muvuma Committee is in complete control of the orphanage and how it is run but we maintain control of the funds we donate. We send the funds to our agent, Emmanuel, who pays the materials and labour bills directly.  

We know how hard our small team here in Canada works to raise funds and awareness, and we greatly admire the dedication of the Muvuma ladies who continue to raise funds and care for the orphans on a daily basis.

Muvuma Orphanage Progress November 2014

With the help of donations, and personal funds loaned to us to pay the builders - we are almost there! 

Our Agent, Emmanuel has worked hard to coordinate the building project alongside the Muvuma Orphanage Group,
who set the ball rolling in 2011

Thanks to you - we beat the rains and completed the septic tanks!

Four of the eight bathroom stalls are completed. Six stalls will contain the standard squat toilet, but there will be a pedestal-style toilet in both the girls' and the boys' bathrooms to assist children with disabilities.  

I am delighted to report that it looks as though we will be able to move the children in before Christmas as we had hoped; work will continue when we can raise more funds. Click the Muvuma link on the right to find out more about the orphanage and to see photos of the children.
