Because there are over ¼ million orphans in Liberia, Addy’s Hope has
partnered with the Johnson Family to build another facility to take care of
the Lord’s children. The new facility will be an 18ft tall 40ft by 60ft pre-
fabricated steel building, which will allow for 10 classrooms downstairs and
10 bedrooms upstairs. This children’s home will provide food, shelter, and
education for 100 orphans. In addition, the school will provide an
affordable education to another 50 plus children in the surrounding area.
The building will be shipped from a port in Texas to Port of Monrovia . The
new building will located on a few acres near the current children’s home
and medical clinic, on Duport Road near Monrovia, Liberia. Plans for the
land are to have the new building, well, football (soccer) field, garden,
fence, and play area for the children. In the future it would be possible to
add other buildings for missionaries and a trade school. Dirt roads in
Liberia are difficult to navigate during the rainy season, so the earliest this
building will be set up is late November 2008.
The total budget for this project is $55,000. Updates, fundraiser items (t-
shirts and reusable shopping bags), and ideas on how to get involved are
available at http://www.futurefororphans.com. If you have any questions
