A legacy in the making, our new home for abandoned little girls with intellectual disabilities is coming to life with each passing day. This project is truly a work of grace! We had been preparing for it back in 2017 but had a difficult time getting approvals from local authorities. Through sheer determination and (loads of) patience, the project took off in August 2019.
We call it a “work of grace” because six short months into construction, the pandemic struck and not only brought construction to a halt but also disrupted donor pledges. Yet, rising like a phoenix, the project resumed in May 2020. Today, the entire structure of the building (stilt, ground, and two floors) has been completed and we are commencing the construction of the walls and flooring, along with plumbing and electrical work. In a couple of months from today, this new “residential-cum-rehabilitation” home will house an additional 100 abandoned children than we do today.
Faced with our own mortality like never before, this is a golden opportunity to leave a lasting legacy to protect society’s most vulnerable citizens, by building this home. This is the last lap in construction and we invite you to join us in this work of grace!
