Construction
Our vision is to build a community center so we can serve those in need more effectively.
The community center will house an Orphanage, Vocational Training Center, Community Kitchen, Warehouse, Medical Clinic, Place of Worship, Gymnasium, and Playground.
Since we received the land at our current location, we have been building according to our vision, slowly but surely, with the help of many volunteers and donations across the US.
If you are interested in helping us finish our community center, please visit

We will periodically update the section below to let you know the progress of construction.
