We built one school

And Now we want to build another

We found 20 sponsors for children so far and we have 15 more for school year 2026. Each child will receive enough money to provide for their education, healthcare and nutrition while attending the schools. Thank You to all the Orchids of Light who are making this dream come true!

Current Project: Sunrise Village Dormitories

At Sunrise School, we're working to build a new dormitory that will be a safe and nurturing home for 250 students. The dormitory is designed with two floors — girls will live on the upper floor, and boys will stay on the ground floor. We've completed the first floor, adding waterproofing to ensure the building is secure. Now, we need your support to finish the second story, build a retaining wall to protect against floods, and furnish the interior.

Why This Matters: These children are full of hope and determination. They attend school each day with smiles on their faces, ready to learn and grow. However, they need a safe place to stay, especially during the rainy season. A completed dormitory will provide them with the stability they deserve.

How You Can Help:

The project has raised and deliverd over $75,000.00 since 2023. The finishing touchesx are being put on the building and will provide safe housing for all 250 children by early 2026.

To add to this project, we need to raise $500.00 per month for a computer lab. We're getting the kids ready for an AI dominated world and preparing them with an ethical undersatnding of AI's benefits and perils. A computer lab is a must if we want to help them flourish on an AI pervasive workplace.

Get Involved: Donate today and help us create a brighter future for these children. Your generosity can make a lasting difference.

NOVEMBER 2024 PROGRESS UPDATE

November 2024

The second story construction has begun thanks to a $4000.00 grant resulting from individual donations and the proceeds of a benefit concert in France...

MAY 2025 PROGRESS UPDATE

MAY 2025

Work on the second story and roof was undertaken in January with a $10,000 grant from a single donor. Tremendous progress was made. Now the work has paused as we seek additional funding to complete the interior and make the second story inhabitable for the 125 boys still staying in the original wood and stick building.

September 2025 PROGRESS UPDATE

September 20, 2025

$5,200 was received towards the construction and completion of the critical splash apron for the dormitory block. This investment insurers that the seasonal flooding will not have an adverse affect on the new building. Local labor and materials were sourced for this success story.
