Kid’s Playing fields
We are working on putting in place exercise and playing fields in the following areas (Netball, Soccer, basketball and Volleyball). We have our own land that we can use for all these. It is our desire to see the kids explore and experience sporting activities as part of their talent development and much more of the emotional healing journey.
Kids Skills Lab
Part of our mission is to help Children discover themselves and promote their talents in various areas. We look forward to having a sizable skills lab with a focus on Music, Tailoring, Computer, Fishing, Agriculture and other areas that might be interesting to the Children.
Poultry Project
we are embarking at self-sustaining programs and chicken production is one of our main avenues to raise funds to enable us to support more kids. With every successful production, monies will be raised to help add more kids to the Orphanage and to take care of the various needs of our Children.
Wall fence Project
We are trusting the Lord for funds to be able to fence only the housing area for kids for further safety and protection as well as for monitoring purposes.
Water (Well or Bole Hole) Project
We seek to add another water system (Bore hole) to enable us to have sufficient water for agricultural purposes and for the community to access to supplement the existing for various needs of the orphanage.
Container Project
This project is a yearly project where we collect donations of items for kids (clothes, beddings, sportswear, toys, shoes, learning tools, specific furniture, school supplies, kids learning books (math, English, Science, reading, drawing, hardware, home utilities etc.). We do this through various partners and friends in the USA and these donations are given to Children at Exodus Children’s Home and those Children we provide care for in the community.
Exodus Community Outreach
All our kids come from the various communities and that’s where we find our purpose. All our Exodus kids will be integrated back into community when they exit Exodus. Our children community outreach takes us to nearby villages targeting specific schools carrying out feeding programs, kid’s camp, and life transformation programs for children of Grades 1-7 especially those coming from critically impoverished families. We help community Children with school uniforms, food and other material support.
