February 2013:

We are happy to announce that the foundation of the building is now complete.

Where do we stand today?

Initially, we had allocated a portion of all contributions to the construction of the orphanage. However, by August 2013 it was evident that both the school and the orphanage could not be completed with the limited funds. Unfortunately, constructions had to be prioritized and the orphanage was halted.

 

 

Take a moment to consider the positive life-changing impact Gleam of Hope can have on the 24 children we will be able to take into the Orphanage. And you can be a part of that change.

 

Gleam of Hope is a charity run solely on donations and grants, please donate freely – no amount is too small or too big for our mission.

 

Upon completion, the complex would have 6 bedrooms to accommodate 4 children per room, a breakfast/lunch area, a kitchen, 2 fully equipped bathrooms, an office, a nursery (first aid), a playground and a closet to be used as storage or janitor's room.

 

Allocation of funds

We are working hard to find partners and applying for grants to resume the construction. It is a work in progress – we won’t give up. At the time being we are focusing on completion of the school Project. You can find more details about school project by clicking here.

What remains to be done?

Though we are proud that the foundation has been built, the main building still needs to be constructed. We reported that the construction was laid after workers removed huge piles of rocks, the iron bars were installed, and as a result, the basic structure has started to appear.

 

However, the installation of several posts and walls, in addition to roofing, flooring, furnishing, plumbing, and electrical work still need to start, including insoles, rocks masonry and  concrete cleanliness.

Sustainability

We believe we have enough land available on the site to raise crops to provide income and food. Our plan for the future is to introduce a computer lab as an Internet cafe and learning center which will generate additional revenue.
