BUY A BRICK AND HELP BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW
Most buildings in Africa are constructed using bricks. Each brick is 8"x10"x18" and weighs close to fifty pounds. They are made of sand and cement and are mixed to a fairly dry consistency. The mixture is placed into a wooden form, then dried for a week. The bricks are soft enough that they can be cut down or formed by using a machete.
$150 will buy ten bricks...See Donations
SAVE A LIFE – DONATE NOW
Our team discovered a sick little boy (Simon), while visiting homes of the poor in May of 2009. After visiting with the family it was suggested that he be provided treatment at the Nkuhungu Medical Clinic. After examining the child he was diagnosed with stage 3 malaria and may have died if left untreated. Our society provided the clinic visit, doctor consultation, medicine and food for the entire family for a week. The medication couldn’t be taken without food and this family was unable to provide daily meals. For $15 this boy overcame malaria. Your donation now, may save the life of a child.

Building costs in Africa have escalated astronomically. The orphans centre building has used 2,800 bricks however the cost to fully complete the building exceeds $40,000. Your donation of $30.00 would buy two bricks in a finished building. This structure will change the lives of the orphaned children using the facility. $150 will buy ten bricks……See Donations
