Capital Projects

During this especially dangerous hurricane season, we are preparing to respond to whatever needs may arise in the communities we serve in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

This project has been funded by a generous partner. Thank you!

The goal of a good education is to equip students for a better future. For many students in Malawi these days, that future means a career in hospitality and tourism. But no matter which career path they choose—or if they decide to start a family instead of pursuing a career—a strong understanding of home economics is essential as they enter adulthood.

Our objectives for this project are: (1) safer access and shorter distances for retrieving water (especially for women and girls), (2) cleaner water to reduce diarrhea and other illnesses in children, (3) better sanitation disposal, and (4) controlled access and storage of water for agriculture.

On January 23, 2016, in Sierra Leone, a brush fire got out of control and burned down COTN's small guesthouse. No one was injured in the fire, but the house is ruined and our education consultant, who was staying there, lost all her belongings.

Your gift today will help rebuild and refurnish the house. Thank you for your compassion.

This project is fully funded. Thank you!!

Just after the boys at the International Christian Academy settled down for bed on the night of December 4, an unusually powerful wind storm came in and blew half of the roof off of the boys' hostel. No one was hurt, but the roof was left mangled and in urgent need of repair.

Your gift today will help repair the roof on the boys' hostel immediately. 

Until the roof can be fixed, the boys will be sleeping in other buildings on our campus, including the main office. 

Your gift to this project will be matched! A generous donor has agreed to provide the second half of funding for this basketball/volleyball court, once you have given the first half. Thank you for giving generously today, to take advantage of this matching gift opportunity!

About this project: The basketball/volleyball court in the community of Algodon has deteriorated over the years, and needs to be repaired so boys and girls can safely play and exercise.

Prior to 2015, COTN-Uganda sent secondary students to boarding schools. However, this was expensive and the quality of education and housing was lacking. A COTN-operated secondary school not only assures quality teaching, it saves COTN money on boarding school fees and generates income from fee-paying students.

Because of a high demand for quality education in Uganda, our primary school is a popular place. Children come from all over the area to attend our school. As a result, our class sizes are larger than they should be, making it hard for teachers to give students the individual attention they need. 

Your gift will help to provide a new building to be used for classes at our school. This will help reduce class sizes and create a better learning environment for the children.

With your help, Children of the Nations (COTN) is preparing to open temporary housing for children orphaned by the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone. 

Our plan is to renovate the school we own in Marjay Town, on the outskirts of Freetown, and turn it into a home where as many as 50 orphaned children can live for up to one year while we work to reconnect them with relatives. If no relatives can be found for some of the children, they will be welcomed into our Banta Children's Homes in Sierra Leone, where they will continue to receive love and care.
