Ten Thousand Homes is a movement of people committed to bringing hope and home to orphans and vulnerable children.
The African continent has been ravaged by HIV/AIDS, malaria, and violence leaving millions of innocent children orphaned in Sub-Saharan Africa. This leaves extended families overburdened caring for orphaned children, in turn leaving mostly older siblings and grandmothers to become the primary caregivers for them.
As Ten Thousand Homes, we feel that a home is so much more than four walls and a roof – it is a place to belong. By building care centers, we are creating a home - a place of security, provision, and love - for multitudes of children. Providing a safe place for younger children during the day, creates the opportunity for older siblings to attend school and get the education they so desperately need.
These multi-purpose care centers are a safe and nurturing place for children to come during the day to receive food, education, Christian teaching, medical care, play therapy, adult supervision, and love. Important life skills and income generating activities for these children are also taught. For children in extreme situations, homes will be built. If children have a home that isn’t secure, doors, locks, and window bars are installed to keep danger out. Many of them are at risk of sexual and physical abuse simply because there aren’t locks on their doors or bars on their windows.
Our desire is to see churches and people from every walk of life join together and invest in the chance to care for the “least of these”. It only takes $30,000 to build a care center and provide clean water for 200 children. This is an opportunity for you to invest in the people of a specific community by providing monthly support for the operating costs of the care centers, As the Body of Christ, we are mandated to care for the orphan and the widow. How will history remember us? Will we be remembered as the generation that cared for Africa’s orphan crisis?
