Dear friends and supporters of the #RoofForAChild campaign,
As we are now in the first month of the year 2023, we wanted to pen a quick note of gratitude, because with your help, many children' lives are being transformed - just because you took the step of faith & sacrifice to educate them. We are especially grateful for your sacrificial commitments in the midst of a pandemic that affected all of us in varying degrees.
It has been quite the journey with you all and most importantly, with God’s grace, having completed 8 years of successfully starting and running a campaign which has enabled us to complete 5 childrens’ homes, 1 about to start, and more homes in the pipeline.
