Our
Plan:
To
build the first HopeBuilders "Tapestry Orphan Village" in Kayamandi,
South Africa, a squatter community located 45 minutes driving time
east of Cape Town. These six homes will each house six children and
a caregiver and consist of 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, bath and living
room. |
 |
|
Using
a panelized wall system that allows for rapid construction, the
homes will be fireproof, weatherproof, insulated, elevated and
painted in vibrant native African colors. Complete with electricity,
running water and plumbing, the cost to build a Tapestry
Orphan Home (including land, building and furnishings) is
$18,000, or $3,000 per child. |
 |
|
Unlike
many orphanages in South Africa, this will be built on dedicated
land in the heart of the squatter village so that connection from
the community remains unbroken. Through our local Kuyasa ministry
partner, the children are lovingly fed, clothed, tutored and cared
for.
But most of all, they are given hope, a future and
shown Christ's love in a tangible way. Future plans call for
building these Tapestry Orphan Homes throughout the village of
Kayamandi with potential in other squatter communities throughout
South Africa. |
 |
When:
As
part of a Threads Africa mission trip and
working side-by-side with local residents and our ministry partners,
mission teams will build homes from start to finish in less than 5
days with the first orphan home to be built in July 2009.
