Tapestry Orphan Homes

Tapestry Orphan Homes

Using a factory-manufactured, panelized wall system that allows for rapid construction, Tapestry Orphan Homes are fireproof, weatherproof, insulated, elevated and painted in native African colors. The three-bedroom, one-bath fully-furnished homes are complete with electricity, solar-powered hot water and plumbing, and have a kitchen, dining area and living room. Each home accommodates six children and a house mother, and the cost to build a Tapestry Orphan Home (including land, building and furnishings) is $25,000, or roughly $4,000 per child.

Unlike many orphanages in Africa, these homes are built on dedicated land in the heart of squatter villages so that connection from the community remains unbroken. Mission teams in partnership with local communities build, furnish and dedicate Tapestry Orphan Homes in just five days! Through our local ministry partners and World Help's Child Sponsorship Program, the children are lovingly fed, clothed, schooled and cared for.

But most of all, they are given hope, a future and shown Christ's love in a tangible way.
