The Orphanage

In 2013 land was bought for the orphanage and it was fenced.

In 2014 Horbury and Ossett Rotary Club paid for a well, a pump and also a house to lodge a gate keeper was built.

In 2015 a chicken hut was built so that an income can be made to support future building work.

In 2016 Horbury and Ossett Rotary club have paid for a water tower and piping throughout the site. The chicken hut will soon have chickens in it.

One accomodation block is built consisting of 2 bedrooms with 8 bunks in each, showers and toilets for children, one bedroom with toilet and shower for House mother and a sitting room and kitchen.

In 2017 we hope to build another accomodation block if funds allow.
