About The Vision
As children leave the Home, their places are quickly filled -- with children always needing care, nurture and love. When operating at maximum capacity, the Home must turn away further referrals of children from the Department of Social Welfare and Development. Our goal is to be able to rescue more children from dire circumstances and give them safe shelter until an alternative plan can be made for their future.
This continual flow of children through our doors has caused us to begin to formulate a plan for future expansion of the Rehoboth Children's Home. In October of 2006, we were able to secure the funds to purchase 2 hectares of land directly across the road from the current facility. In 2007, a capital campaign commenced to oversea the development of this vision, beginning with the construction of a security fence and new baby home for infants. For more information about the progress of our development, read our Progress Reports, or to see the latest plans and visuals, go here.
The large size of this piece of ground opens the door to a continued vision of growth in the future. It will also provide an opportunity for the Home to develop some self-sufficiency by growing its own produce and establishing a few commercial ventures. We feel very blessed that this land became available and that God provided the financial resources that allowed us to acquire this piece of ground. We look to His guidance in the development of the land so that it may be used to His glory.
