Int'l Development - Solar Power Fund

Help provide children with renewable power at their schools, homes and communities

The schools, clinics and communities served by COTN do not have consistent power sources. Often they must resort to using a costly generator for power or go without. When the school generator runs out of fuel, the children's lessons are cut short. Solar power is a clean, reliable energy source that will provide power for the schools, clinics and community centers for years.

Former Orphan Who Tended Goats to Survive Now Attends College

 
An orphan in Sierra Leone, West Africa, Amidu was the last to eat in the various families that took him in. They saw him more as a worker than a family member. So until he was nine years old, he spent his days tending goats—and not in school.

(SL) Children's Home Renovation

Project Country:

Visibility :

Eight of the nine houses that make up our Children’s Home in Sierra Leone, where our orphaned and most vulnerable children live, need renovation. The roofs have begun to leak, the plumbing needs repairs, and the houses need to be more accessible for children with disabilities. The Children’s Home, which should be a space for children to feel loved and cared for, is no longer safe.

 

Your gift will provide new furniture, repair the roof and walls, and make the Homes safe and beautiful. Thank you for investing in the safety of our children!
