Our purpose:

 

We offer communities a portfolio of sustainable solutions so they can bring their orphans home and take stewardship over the care and education.

Project Thrive has zero administrative overhead so we leverage 100% of your donations to jumpstart selected self-sustaining programs.  We harness the power of collaborating with local private sector and other non-profit organizations. By helping the community incorporate solutions, soon the Learning Village is a hub of activity that embraces the children, serves community and funds the campus. These actions create cultures of stewardship, rather than dependency.  It’s working!

 We're tackling our targets and achieving them.  Imagine what we could do with your help (donations shown represent several orphanages):

Target 1:  Feed the Children

 Purchase a sawdust burning stove (cooking fuel savings add up to more money for food) Thank you!

 Purchase a cow for milk (Friesian, 20 liters a day) Graduating orphans can take on the care. Thank you!

 Purchase goats to raise and sell to purchase school supplies. Thank you!  Just a few more to reach our goal.

Purchase chicks for eggs and protein, retaining breeding stock.

Purchase a second sawdust burning stove so kids don't have to wait in line until midnight for dinner.

Purchase livestock (cow, and goats)

Implement trade school options for graduating students: Bakery, farming (more under development)

Acquire partnership with another orphanage to develop crops  (Kisii site)

 

Land = Food + Security

We are approximately $96,000 away from completion of funding of the Learning Village campus.  With your help we will have complete the campus by 2012 and prove the Learning Village model ready to be duplicated.

The Learning Village design has ample home space, quality classrooms, a library, arts and sports facilities, much needed crops and small livestock.  In addition accommodations for teachers, visiting artists, interns and medical volunteers, an administration building & a much needed Community Library.  Computer lab, laundry facility and a library with public restrooms.  A rotating crop of fast growing trees will provide shade in the first year and wood for furniture trade in the second.

Trade school options will provide technical training and much needed commerce so that graduates of the centre who may not choose to eventually go onto college still have a means of  becoming prosperous while creating sustaining funding for the centre.  Learn More HERE
