Support our growth.

We received over 130 applications from 12 different countries for our 2025 Programs!

We want to serve more students, but our capacity is limited by the size of our facilities. Our goal is to raise $700,000 to expand our campus. With these funds, we will build additional communal facilities (including a well, a septic system, electricity, roadworks, plus a communal kitchen and dining hall), and purchase seven beautiful shepherd’s huts for the students to live in.

Here is what your donation will make happen:

  • $50,000 is the cost of a Shepherd's hut. We are looking to get seven of these for our students and faculty to live in.

  • $75,000 is the cost of building a water well, a septic tank, and of bringing electric to the land where we will place the shepherd's huts.
